Spread the love

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1 broccoli
  • 0.1 liters of water
  • 1 tsp salt, possibly more
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 1 tbsp butter, optional
  • Nutmeg, freshly grated, optional

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Very simple, healthy and delicious

Divide the broccoli into florets and wash them. Add them to the wok with the water and salt and set the stove to high. When the water boils, cover the wok with a lid slightly smaller than the diameter of the wok so that the steam can escape from the sides. Steam the broccoli for 5 minutes, stirring briefly. Then remove the lid. If there is any liquid left, either let it boil away or pour it off, depending on how soft the vegetables are. Now add the oil and mix thoroughly. The high temperature will brown the broccoli quickly and give it a wonderful roasted aroma. Fry for 3-5 minutes and then remove from the heat. Add butter and nutmeg and mix well. Enjoy immediately! Asian variation: Replace some of the water with soy sauce, use sesame oil instead of sunflower oil, and season with sambal oelek if desired.
