1. Bring a saucepan filled with water to a boil on high heat, and add a pinch of salt.
2. Clean the broccoli head and cut off the stem, then trim the crown into bite-size pieces. Peel the tough layer off the stem and cut off its bottom inch, then chop the rest into thin slices.
3. Add the sliced stems into the boiling water and cook for two minutes, then add the florets and cook until tender for another three minutes.
4. Drain the cooked broccoli and submerge in cold water, then transfer to a plate, season, and serve.
