Once upon a time, Piggy asked his mother the same question, and she answered: broccoli must be blanched in boiling water! As a working woman, my mother told me three reasons:

(1), broccoli has a lot of small flowers on it, and some worms hide in it, which can't be easily cleaned, and after blanching in boiling water, the worms are heated up, and they will run out.

(2), broccoli blanched with boiling water, the pesticides on it will also be reduced, you can avoid pesticide poisoning (for this I am convinced, because in the middle of this year, there is a distant relative of the whole family because of consumption of pesticides exceeding the standard of the broccoli poisoned into the hospital).

(3), broccoli blanched in boiling water, cold water and then back to the pan frying, so that the cooking out of the broccoli more crisp, color is also more beautiful.
