3. Cooking tips
Blanching treatment: For green leafy vegetables like spinach, you can blanch them first to remove oxalic acid and impurities, making the vegetables cleaner and tastier. When blanching, use high fire, and the time should not be too long, so as not to destroy the nutrition and taste.
Stir-fry before cooking: For hard vegetables such as spring bamboo shoots, you can fry them in oil until they are slightly yellow, and then add an appropriate amount of water to cook. This preserves the tender taste of the vegetables while making the nutrients more absorbable.
Seasoning tips: During the cooking process, you can add some spices such as ginger, garlic, green onions, etc., in moderation, to increase the aroma and taste of the dish. At the same time, pay attention to controlling the amount of salt, oil and other condiments to maintain the original flavor of the dishes.
