Silly me, until recently I never knew how to cook broccoli. I always thought, boil in water for 5 minutes and done. The broccoli was always simultaneously over and undercooked. Blech. Instead, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add broccoli and remove from heat. Letting the broccoli sit in boiling water for three minutes steaming and soaking up all that heat is enough to cook the broccoli so it is al dente. Delicious. I want to thank my good friend and much wiser cook, Aumpai for this super helpful instruction.
