Langkah-langkah

Steamer Basket Method: Fill a large pot with about 1 in (2.5 cm) of water and bring to a rolling boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket (or metal colander) inside the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Once done, season with a bit of salt. Large Skillet Method: Fill a large skillet filled with just enough water to cover the bottom, and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the broccoli florets directly in the skillet, and cover it with a lid. Steam the broccoli for 4 to 5 minutes on low heat, or until it’s bright green and tender-crisp. Once done, season with a bit of salt.
