1. Boil
 
Boiling is the most common method. This method is quick and easy to implement. If you like soft vegetables, boiling is the most suitable method. Almost all types of vegetables can be boiled. However, there are also types that are not suitable for this method such as tomatoes, bell peppers, or eggplants… They will taste better when stir-fried or grilled.
 

To ensure the vibrant color of dark green leaf vegetables when boiling, it is recommended to add a small amount of salt (1 teaspoon per 1.5 liters of water). It is important to use enough water in the pot to fully submerge the vegetables, but be cautious not to use excessive amounts as it will prolong the cooking process and result in unnecessary nutrient loss. To preserve the maximum nutrient content, it is advised to add the vegetables once the water has reached a boiling point, rather than adding them prematurely. The cooking time for dark green leaf vegetables is generally shorter compared to root vegetables.

If boiling root vegetables, you should cover the pot tightly during boiling. After boiling, immediately remove the root vegetables and put them in a bowl of cold water. For white vegetables such as white cabbage or potatoes, add a little lemon juice to the boiling water to prevent them from changing color.
 
2. Steaming
 

Steaming vegetables is a recommended cooking method for achieving a crispy and firm texture. Moreover, it is known for preserving a higher amount of nutrients in vegetables compared to other cooking techniques. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals seeking culinary methods that promote overall health and well-being.

Steaming the vegetables using a steamer is highly recommended as it enhances the freshness and taste. You can steam a variety of vegetables such as celery, white cabbage, green cabbage, and snow peas for optimal results.

3. Baking in the oven
 

Baking vegetables in the oven not only enhances their delicious aroma, particularly during cold winter dinners, but also helps to retain more of their valuable nutrients. Prior to baking, these vegetables can be marinated with spices to suit personal preferences. Carrots, white beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, and onions are particularly well-suited for this cooking method. Tossing them in a generous amount of olive oil, salt, and honey in a large bowl is recommended. The wonderful thing about baking root vegetables is that they offer a tantalizing fragrance while being lower in calories.

4. Stewing
 

This technique is ideal for cooking winter vegetables. When stewing vegetables with other ingredients, be mindful that vegetables cook faster than meat. It is important to accurately determine the ideal time to add the vegetables to prevent overcooking. Stewing vegetables helps to maintain their natural flavors. Onions, straw mushrooms, and root vegetables are particularly well-suited for this method.

5. Stir-frying
 
6. Grilling
 
 
Vegetables with a high water content are suitable for grilling. If you want grilled vegetables to be easier to prepare, you should cut all the ingredients to the same size for even cooking. Grilling method helps the vegetables have a rich and delicious taste, especially with straw mushrooms or snow peas…
