Dive into a culinary journey at Ocho Seafood & Grill, where traditional Filipino seafood dishes transform family dinners into unforgettable feasts.

Two Ways Recipe for Broccoli


How do you cook your broccoli?

Yesterday, I asked Manang V how she cooks her broccoli. Manang V said she cooks it with other vegetables the chop suey or beef with broccoli.

Manang V asked me why I had told her I had purchase some broccoli but wanted to try something new to eat it.

I asked my friend how do you cook your broccoli? My friend said, oh I just steam it up and eat it plain or add cheddar cheese.

I decided to cook it somewhere not even close to what Manang V and my friend had told me how they eat their broccoli. 

I figured since I have my own microwave, and it came with a cooking bowl. I had decided to cook mine in the microwave and use only ingredients I have available in my room having my own refrigerator.
