Steam it until it is bright green. Don't cook it until it turns yellow green and limp. My favorite salad at a nearby Italian restaurant is steamed broccoli, which is then chilled and served with olive oil and lemon juice. Its good raw, too, dipped in hummus, but I like it steamed best, or sauteed. You can also slice the stem into thin slices and add them to a stir fry. Peel the thickest part of the stem first.
Enjoy! :)

I like broccoli lightly steamed then tossed in a pan with lots of garlic sauteed in olive olive oil. I'm on a garlic kick right now though.

it's good if you just lightly steam it with a bit of sea salt

I love broccoli :D I finished the last of mine yesterday :( I wish I had some more.
I just boil mine in a small amount of water (just for a few minutes. I'd steam but I don't have a steamer) and have it plain or with sesame oil.

PS: Broccoli gives me gas! :p So if you know you're a gassy person, I'd eat this on the weekend or something when you won't be seeing much people. :D

I eat it raw - on salads or with hummus
Also good on pizza, or in a burrito.
I will have to try steaming it! I just never do.
I put it in a coconut curry last week.
Is chinese broccoli bok choy? I thought it was anyway...
