Ingredients
- 12 oz frozen broccoli florets
- salt adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder adjust to your preference
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- In a large skillet or frying pan, place the frozen broccoli florets.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of water and cook in medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes until the water from the frozen florets melt.
- Once the water is all melted, add salt, lemon juice and garlic, mix well with the broccoli.
- Cover with lid and cook in low heat for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the broccoli is cooked and soft to your preference.
- If there's no water left in the pan, you may sprinkle a little more water so the broccoli will be cooked without burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Usually this is not necessary since there is enough water from the frozen florets.
- Once it's cooked, open the lid, stir well and if there is any water content left in the pan, cook in medium heat until the water is all evaporated.
- Once the water content is all gone, add the oil and stir fry the cooked broccoli for another 2 to 3 minutes until it's lightly browned.
- You may add more garlic or shredded cheese or other seasonings of your preference as you desire.
- Sprinkle black pepper powder and serve hot with rice or any meal for a delicious vegetable side dish!
