Boiled vegetables should never be bland or mushy; keeping the lid on during cooking helps retain flavor and achieve the perfect texture.
Using just enough water to cover vegetables, along with spices and aromatics in the water, significantly enhances their flavor while boiling.
Pay attention to the doneness of your vegetables; a taste test ensures they are cooked to a desirable softness without becoming mushy.
To deactivate continued cooking after boiling, immediately dunking vegetables into an ice bath or cooling them under cold water is essential.
