      So what the kids like is the fat and you’re using vegetable oil, which is the number one cause of heart disease. So to cook the cheapest vegetable possible you have to spend like an extra hundred dollars or so.

      In Hong Kong, we will reserve the stalk, cut it into small dices, and use it as an ingredient to make fried rice. It provides one more crunchy texture, and also color, and vegetable to a simple fried rice, very tasty and useful.

    Italian here. I find it fascinating how even with such a distance in our cultures, the cooking of something as simple and delicious as broccoli is pretty much identical. We do fast boiling, keep em green, and sautee them with garlic (we use no ginger). We also prepare the stalks for who likes them (my daughter has always preferred them since she was 2, I never like them). Also, for us high quality olive oil with such a simple dish is necessary. Thanks for the video!

      @morticae 3 місяці тому +23

      ​@@ThirdLife86if you use bad technique, sure. If you keep things moving, use high heat briefly, and then finish with fresh oil, it'll work great. Or just go tell Italy they've been doing it wrong.

    • @ThirdLife86
      @ThirdLife86 3 місяці тому +12

      ​@@morticae Has nothing to do with bad technique and also doesn't mean you can't cook other things with it. Its just not meant for asian high heat wok fried cuisine, sorry to break it to you or the italian fellas. Olive oil is not the holy grail in all cuisines and for each and every dish.
      Keeping things moving will keep your ingredients cooler but a lot of the oil in the pan will still go bad. Also as soon as you use high heat its done even if "briefly", also your dish will not taste the same as you NEED high heat. And then top it off with another dose of oil so you're eating a massive oily dish ?
      Yeah, seems like your technique is really perfect. If you want to eat half burnt and half fresh oil with some partially over or undercooked broccoli. Perfect dish. 🤣

      If the chewing problem is severe try making it into dips, with tofu (blended) and you know anything she likes (garlic, black pepper, soy sauce or so) Some people (specially women) that may have a colitis problem, may have a hard time with "hard" al dente broccoli.

    Hello from Germany! I have just tried your recipe for Sunday lunch. Your instructions are really easy and the result is amazing. I'm very pleased with how the broccoli turned out. At first I was a bit worried that the sauce wouldn't be quite enough, but the remaining water in the vegetables did the trick. The taste is really something! Thanks again!

    Broccoli is my favorite vegetable, even as a kid, and I've always loved the way it comes out at restaurants, but I had so much trouble cooking it at home. Then I learned how to blanch and that's made all the difference in the world! I'll definitely be trying this sauce next time I cook it.

      Don't know why blanching was the revelation for you since all that seems to do is soften it up (and does nothing for keeping it green as is said here). I stir-fry it directly and it seems fine to me. I think what's most important is the little extra liquid spicy sauce added to the oil base while stirring. Also baked garlick cloves then chopped up taste better than stir-frying it raw and can be put in the pan at the end without risk of burning it.

      ​@@nicknelson9450 I don't really care about the greenness or anything. But the flavor is different. I can't really explain it, but it just tastes better to. I mean, maybe it's the salt in the water too? When I steamed it, I usually add salt after.
