Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into florets. The stem can also be boiled along with the florets if you remove the tough outer layer and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Advice: The stem is very nutritious, so don't discard it! Peel off the tough outer layer and slice the rest thinly to enjoy. Try to use it!
