Boiled Vegetables
Often times we wonder why we cannot maintain the colour of greens after cooking.
When stir frying, we tend to over cook it.
When boiling it, we tend to leave it in the hot water for too long.
So, the problem is over cooking!
These are some of the tips to boil vegetables:
1) ratio of water to vegetable should be about 2:1,
as too little water will bring the temperature down when vegi is added
2) bring the water to rolling boil
3) drain the vegetable well while waiting for the water to boil
4) add some oil & salt to the boiling water prior to adding the vegetable
5) do not turn down the flame when vegi is added, continue on high heat
6) when small bubbles appear by the sides of pan, it is ready to dish out the vegi!
7) pour sauce & oil over the vegetable to cool down
8) serve warm
