Let's take a look together at the complete guide to broccoli recipes below!
Garlic Broccoli
[Ingredients] 200 g broccoli, 1 tsp minced garlic, 2 tsp vegetable oil, a pinch of salt.
[Method] ① First, soak the broccoli you bought in salt water for 20 minutes; this can remove some of the bugs on the vegetable. Then add some vegetable washing detergent to clean it, rinse it under running water, and break it into the size you need. ② Blanch the washed broccoli in boiling water, but do not exceed 30 seconds; exceeding 30 seconds easily destroys its nutritional value. ③ Put two spoonfuls of corn oil in the pan, and when it is 70% hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Add the broccoli and stir-fry for 1 minute, add a small amount of clean water (2 liang), sprinkle in a little salt, and it is ready to serve. You can also wait until the oil is hot, add the broccoli and stir-fry, then add salt and garlic powder and stir-fry for another minute before serving. The advantage of using garlic powder is that the flavor is even.
[Tips] ① When washing broccoli, soak it in salt water for about 10 minutes. ② Do not blanch the broccoli for more than 30 seconds, otherwise the nutrients will be destroyed. ③ Garlic powder gives a more even and flavorful taste. For the vegetable oil, it is best to choose odorless salad oil or corn oil so that the original flavor of the broccoli can be preserved.
