How to cook deliciously - Crisp-Tender Broccoli in Lemon-Soy Dressing

1 . Stage

In small bowl, stir together soy sauce, lemon juice, and sugar; set aside. Cut florets from broccoli, reserving the stalk, and set aside. Trim the bottom end off stalk and peel off any tough skin. Diagonally slice stalk into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

2 . Stage

Bring a large saucepan of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add broccoli stems and cook 1 minute; add florets and cook until florets and stems are just tender, about 1 minute more. Drain in colander and rinse under cold water. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.

3 . Stage

Set a large, deep skillet or a wok over high heat. When pan is very hot, add oil; heat until near-smoking (oil will begin to ripple). Add broccoli and stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Add dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter to serve.
