Boiling is considered the simplest cooking method, but not everyone knows the correct way to do it. There are many tips for boiling dishes that experts have revealed and housewives have shared. The following classic cooking tips can help you preserve nutrition and enhance the flavor of boiled vegetables in the best way.
A large proportion of minerals and vitamins are located on or under the skin of food. That’s why baked or boiled potatoes with the skin contain more nutrients than peeled or scraped potatoes.
Each type of vegetable is cooked by a method that brings out different colors and flavors. However, regardless of the method, you need to preserve the shape and highest nutritional value of the food. Boil or steam vegetables with a small amount of water and for as short a time as possible. Add about a teaspoon of salt to each half liter of water to keep the vegetables green and enhance the flavor.
Boil the water before adding the vegetables. Many vitamins are lost and dissolve immediately after the vegetables are added to the water and then further lost during boiling.
Green vegetables should be boiled with little water and boiled as quickly as possible.
White vegetables should be boiled with a little lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
With green vegetables, boil them in very little water and boil them as quickly as possible. As for white vegetables (such as cauliflower, potatoes, corn…), you should add a little lemon juice to the boiling water to enhance the flavor.
You should not pour away the water when boiling vegetables (which contains many vitamins and minerals) but keep it and use it to make soups, broths, or drink it as it is very delicious. Many people love the boiled water of morning glory with a little salt, blended tamarind, or diluted with lemon juice; in summer, if you have a bowl of morning glory boiled water, eat it with rice and a few starfruits, it’s amazing!
Finally, remember to enjoy the vegetables as soon as possible after cooking and make sure they are hot to taste better and make the most of the nutrients!
