Cooking tips

  • Adding salt and oil to the boiling water when blanching broccoli keeps the color bright and gives the surface a glossy sheen.
  • Chinese stir-fries rely on speed—pre-mix the sauce with starch so you can pour it all at once and avoid failure.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a fresh, addictive twist on regular steamed broccoli.
  • People who want to make a sophisticated Chinese-style side dish in minimal time.
