NICE TIPS ON THE VEGETABLES!!

HI EVERYONE!

When we eat nasi lemak, we also eat it with side vegetables like cucumber and nuts! TODAY I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT SOME TIPS ON VEGETABLES TO MAKE IT STAY CRUNCHY AS WELL AS SIMPLE KNOWLEDGE ON VEGETABLES!!! You can use it for other types of vegetables as well, okay! ARE YOU EXCITED TO KNOW about this?? Please get ready!!

Firstly, you must have vegetables! It is a must!

According to Gordon (2007), "There are two ways that vegetables lose vitamins and minerals, says Anna Denny, a scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation. "The first is when nutrients leach into water when boiled. The second is when they are broken down through heat. Obviously it is difficult not to heat vegetables. Only a few, such as carrots and cauliflower are nice to eat raw, so the key is to heat them for a brief amount of time - two to three minutes at most." If the vegetables are still crunchy when you eat them, then they're probably still packed with nutrients. If they are tender and soft, they're not. 

Denny says that the more delicate the vegetable, the less you should cook it. "Spinach, for example, breaks down very quickly. You can cook it into nothing in no time at all.

The best way to cook a vegetable is to steam it in a very small amount of water. Make sure that the water is hot to start with, so that the vegetables don't have to be in the steamer for very long time.

Don't be afraid to use the microwave. It may be seen as the most evil apparatus in the kitchen, but microwaving is far better than boiling. Again, use only a tiny amount of water and heat for no more than three minutes. (Interesting facts for me...)

Stir-frying is a good way to cook vegetables. Don't use too much fatty oil. It may cause you harm if you used too much oil.

The only vegetable you should boil is the potato, only POTATO, says Denny. If you absolutely have to boil your vegetables, you can consume their leached-out nutrients by keeping the water and using it to make fresh soup or stock."
