Put the broccoli into a microwave safe bowl. Pour the water over the broccoli.
Cover with a plate and microwave on high power for 5 minutes.
Notes
We used fresh broccoli for this recipe. If you are using frozen then you will need to use less water and cook for longer.
You don't want overcooked and mushy broccoli. Every microwave varies, so cook it for 4 minutes and then cook for 30 seconds at a time more until the desired doneness.
When placing the plate over the bowl, make sure it is the right way up. This will prevent moisture from escaping.
