Blanching serves two purposes: it partially cooks the broccoli so it stir-fries faster, and it sets the chlorophyll, resulting in a beautiful, vibrant green color. Shocking it in ice water immediately after stops the cooking, ensuring it stays crisp.
Yes, you can use frozen broccoli florets. There is no need to blanch them. Simply thaw the broccoli completely and pat it very dry with paper towels before adding it to the wok. Note that the texture might be slightly softer than when using fresh broccoli.
