Preparation Steps

1 Fill a large pot with the water, and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.

2 Chop the ends of the broccoli to create florets. Once the florets are chopped, also chop parts of the stalk from the floret end. You can typically get many stalk slices to eat as well.

3 Once the water is boiling, add the chopped broccoli to the pot

4 Boil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and easily pierced with a fork but still firm.

5 Immediately drain the broccoli through a colander to prevent overcooking.

6 Transfer the hot broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately.
