The different methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and in this particular article we are going to focus on the steaming method of cooking.
Steaming is the simplest of methods that one can use to cook the food, and it also has some advantages to this process of cooking: Steaming vegetables makes it possible to maintain the full flavor of the vegetables, and it also helps to retain the color of the vegetables making them look attractive even after they are ready. The other advantage of having the vegetables steamed is that they are able to retain most of their nutrients making them very healthy to consume.
You should start by placing water in a sauce pan, be sure that the water is only about one inch deep. Then you can put the pan in the steamer, then put some vegetables in the steamer. It is usually best to steam just a few vegetables at a time-- preferably they should be only one layer. You can sprinkle the vegetables with a little bit of sea salt at the start of the cooking so as to add taste to the vegetables. When steaming you should steam till the vegetables are a bit tender. You should see to it that they do not become crispy or mushy at any moment.
To be able to establish if the vegetables are ready, all you need to do is to take a bite of the vegetables. If they happen to have a little crisp in them you should leave them for a few more minutes.
One should be wise in selecting vegetables for steaming, use vegetables that are young and tender which will help with the overall taste of the steamed vegetable dish.
You could drizzle some little amount of olive oil or butter on the vegetables after steaming. This goes well with the tender nature of the vegetables that have been steamed. The olive oil gives them a beautiful look and adds just a little bit of flavor.
You can then have the vegetables sprinkled with some lemon juice or vinegar, which helps to add a stronger taste for those who desire it. Some people also like to add a little bit of Parmesan cheese that is grated and fresh. This makes vegetables look very attractive and adds some additional flavor.
You can see that it is easy to steam vegetables... steamed vegetables are a great way to add nutrition to any meal.
