Kelly's Notes:

  • To guarantee bright greenish broccoli, blanch the florets in humid water then drain and dry it very well earlier adding it to the pan. If y'all opt for this additional blanching pace, reduce the cooking time of the broccoli to 2 minutes.

  • The sauce must come to a boil in guild for the cornstarch to work as a thickening amanuensis.
