I first tried this sunny side dish because it seemed to be a fresh, nutritious and easy combination. Now it's the only way my husband will eat broccoli. I love to pair it with grilled meat on hot days.

??? 3 stars. The recipe was easy to follow and the broccoli turned out well, but it was a bit too plain for my taste. I think I'll try adding some cheese or a sauce next time.

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. It's quick, easy, and healthy. I usually serve the steamed broccoli with a side of grilled chicken or fish.

I'm allergic to broccoli, so I can't comment on the taste. However, I did appreciate the detailed instructions and the beautiful photos.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to make it more flavorful. I usually toss the broccoli with some olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder before steaming it. It adds a nice depth of flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my broccoli turned out mushy. I think I steamed it for too long. Next time, I'll keep a closer eye on it.

Meh. The broccoli was okay, but I've had better. The recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some garlic and chili flakes next time.

I've tried many steamed broccoli recipes, but this one is by far the best. The broccoli florets were cooked evenly and had a perfect texture. I also love the addition of lemon juice and butter, which added a subtle tanginess and richness.

This recipe is a game-changer! I used to boil my broccoli, which always resulted in mushy, bland vegetables. But steaming them made all the difference. The broccoli retained its鮮豔的green color and had a slightly sweet flavor.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this recipe was. I'm a beginner in the kitchen, but I was able to follow the instructions easily. The broccoli came out perfectly steamed and was a hit with my family.
