Kelly's Notes:

  • To guarantee bright green broccoli, flinch the florets in boiling water so drain and dry information technology very well before adding information technology to the pan. If you opt for this additional blanching footstep, reduce the cooking time of the broccoli to two minutes.

  • The sauce must come up to a boil in order for the cornstarch to work as a thickening agent.
