for your

. Steamed vegetables are a perfect way to incorporate vegetables into your diet, so I want you to sit back, relax and enjoy. I will also explain what

blanching

means over the course of this video, so feel free to watch it until the end. My name is salami and I am Diary of a Cooking Lover. As I said before, you should watch this video until the end. I think to myself now these are the vegetables that I will use this is called effort in Yoruba most of the time this is what I call it when I go to the market to buy it and the good thing is that I like to buy my vegetables um like This and eventually I cut it myself.

I don't like cutting my vegetables at the market, so what I'm doing now is cutting each leaf off the stems of the vegetables. Some people like to cut a lot of the vegetables. What do you call this term or the thick parts and the thin parts? A lot of people like to add it to the dance, but I just need to. I like to add very, very little of it to my vegetables, so I'll move on. To do this and then move on to chopping the vegetables, I'll show you how I chop my vegetables. Also in this foreign video, thanks to chop the vegetables, you need a very, very sharp knife so you can navigate through each leaf correctly and you know. this is how I cut it sometimes I like very large leaves while sometimes I just like them moderate like these and sometimes why especially when I want to use vegetables to decorate I like to cut it, chop it very, very small, but this particular cutlet is I like the medium size chop, so I'm going to do this for all the vegetables and continue to blanch them.

The reasons why I blanch my vegetables is so that I don't lose the flavor of the vegetables so that the vegetables maintain the exact color so that you see this green most of the time, when you don't blanch vegetables over time the vegetables turn black In fact, almost immediately after cooking or even while cooking, vegetables turn black, so blanching them helps you preserve the color, preserve the vitamins contained in the vegetables and, in addition, you do not lose any vitamins or nutrients. of vegetables, that's what blanching does and also blanching is an additional way for me to wash vegetables well, in this case because blanching is used for different types of foods you can blanch your vegetables blanch your tomatoes and legs, so what it means to blanch vegetables is you know that in boiling water you transfer your vegetable tools,

make

sure that before chopping the vegetables you wash the blade properly and then continue. chop and then blanch, so I'm transferring the chopped vegetables to boiling water, although I've turned up the heat on the boiling water, so I'm going to blanch them for about three or four minutes in hot water and then run them through very cold or even ice water to stop the cooking process and also to retain the vitamins to retain all the nutrients and also to retain the colors of the vegetables that I am blanching and also allows the vegetables to remain crispy even. until you finish it, even if you keep it for a month or three weeks, it will still retain the green color and the crispy look, so now I'm going to run this under very cold water.

This needs to be done right away so you can first, quickly sift the hot water and then transfer it to very cold water or ice water, you get the idea, so once you are done with this, continue with the washing and you will get the blanched vegetables like I mentioned previously. It is the best way to

make

vegetables if you want to make vegetable soup, hairy bun,

steamed

vegetables and all that, and blanching also helps when you want to preserve vegetables for a long time, so you blanch them and then freeze them. Get your green vegetables even after a month, so let's move ahead to steam the vegetables.

Heat very, very little oil. Very very little. Add the onions. You can add crabs, jumbo prawns and add, yes I don't add garlic to my steam. Vegetables. I'm going to go with my pepper mix so my pepper mix has a mix of tomatoes, a scotch bunny, like a mix of red chili and red peppers. I'm going to cook very, very little of this and then I'm going to add all my spices. I'll season the

steamed

vegetables with a little crayfish powder. I would also add some Bunga fish powder, so this is a Bunga fish powder and then some local seasoning.

I'll just give this a good mix. and the only thing I will add after this is my giant prunes. um you can add some mackerel, panda fish, any kind of fish, catfish and all that, you can even add some meat to this, but I try. try to keep this very, very simple so you can see you can't even see any oil on this because you don't want any kind of known oil coming out of your vegetables and continue adding the blanched vegetables. Blunt vegetables look very very green and will maintain this color for as long as you want so once you add the vegetables the vegetables naturally produce water so you don't need to produce liquid but you don't need to add any kind of liquid. water meat broth and all that you don't need to add it to these vegetables you're just going to mix it and make sure that all the spices and seasonings are well distributed and then cover it and let it cook for another five minutes, you don't need to overcook your vegetables, it's okay, cook this for about five minutes, you've got your steamed vegetables, as I mentioned earlier.

Steamed vegetables are perfect to infuse into your diet, for example, now you feel like eating rice. eating yam feels like it is in paste and you only have stew and you are looking for how to infuse vegetables in your food, just put this next to your food and you will get all the nutrients from this and it is a perfect way to stay healthy you can even eat it alone with your yams, your potatoes and all that nameless stuff, um, sorry, the possibilities of steamed vegetables are endless, so you can see how the color hasn't changed normally, if you don't blanch, the color will change afterwards. for a while and you're not getting that greenness from your vegetables, you can also apply this

method

to your kale for your other types of vegetables, there's chocolate, there's spinach and all of that you can apply this method to and you'll get the best results. just by blanching and steaming vegetables, this definitely looks great, what do you guys think of these 50's?
