Mastering these points, your garlic broccoli can also be comparable to the chef's skill, don't you want to try it?
In the vast sea of Chinese cuisine, every dish carries a story, and garlic broccoli is no exception. This dish is loved by diners for its emerald green color, crisp texture, and rich garlic aroma. It's not just a home-cooked dish, it's a witness to a piece of history.
It is said that in ancient times, the combination of garlic and broccoli was not all smooth sailing. Broccoli, formerly known as turquoise flowers, was introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions and attracted attention for its unique form and taste. However, the original cooking method was monotonous, making it difficult to highlight its delicious taste. Until one day, a chef named Li Shishen accidentally dropped minced garlic into the pot while cooking, and accidentally found the perfect match between garlic and broccoli, thus giving birth to this classic dish.
The legend of garlic broccoli is widely spread among the people, and many time-honored restaurants have listed it as a signature dish. In Beijing's "Cuiyun Xuan" and Shanghai's "Green Wave Gallery", this dish has been endowed with regional characteristics and has become a delicacy that diners compete to taste.
To make authentic garlic broccoli, the choice of ingredients and cooking skills are crucial. First of all, broccoli should be fresh and green, so broccoli has a better taste and higher nutritional value. Secondly, the minced garlic should be cut delicately and evenly, so that it can better play its role and allow the garlic to fully penetrate into the broccoli. When cooking, it is also important to master the heat to ensure that the broccoli is ripe without losing its crisp texture.
The specific method is as follows: prepare 600 grams of broccoli, 80 grams of minced garlic, salt, chicken essence, and an appropriate amount of cooking oil. Cut the broccoli into small florets, wash and set aside. Add water to a boil in a pot, add a little salt and cooking oil, blanch the broccoli until it changes color, then remove and drain. Heat oil in another pot, add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add blanched broccoli and stir-fry quickly, and finally add salt and chicken essence to taste.
One trick to help enhance the taste of garlic broccoli during cooking is to add a pinch of salt and cooking oil to the water in which the broccoli is blanched, which will keep the broccoli green and add to its undertaste. In addition, when frying minced garlic, stir-fry slowly over low heat to avoid the minced garlic from being scorched and affecting the taste.
