Cooking Instructions
- 1
I rinsed and removed the dirt and damaged parts from 10 bunches of spinach, and placed them in a bowl.
- 2
*Prepare a colander and a bowl of water. Boil the water for parboiling in a pot.
- 3
First, pour the boiling water over the stalks into the bowl, and soak in boiling water for a minute.
- 4
After 1 minute, lay the greens on their side, and pour the remaining boiling water over the leaves, while stirring them up from top to bottom.
- 5
Drain the greens in a colander right away to prevent overcooking. Transfer to the prepared bowl of water, then run cold water over them to cool.
- 6
For spinach and other greens that are a bit bitter, soak in water for a while.

An Easy Way to Parboil Asparagus An Easy Way to Parboil Asparagus
I saw a chef parboil the base of the spears, so I also added the peeled skin.The flavor is nicely absorbed and seals in well with a drop of vegetable oil.The parboiling time depends on the freshness and time of harvest of the asparagus, but about 1.5 to 3 minutes should do. If the skin starts to come off, you've boiled them too long. (Early harvest asparagus is tender and late harvest asparagus is a bit fibrous. I recommend using the tough parts in potage.)

This is how to boil spinach in a multipurpose frying pan with a lid, which can be used to steam rice or boil pasta and so on. You can use any leafy vegetable instead. Adjust the cooking time as needed.None in particular. You can put in any amount of spinach and it will cook up evenly. I always cook one whole bunch at a time.

How to Boil Bright Green Broccoli in the Microwave How to Boil Bright Green Broccoli in the Microwave
I didn't really put much thought into this method but after I finished boiling the broccoli like this it turned out to be the best broccoli that I had ever made. Please adjust the heating time depending on your model of microwave and the broccoli texture that you're aiming for.Please sprinkle the salt over the broccoli evenly. Even if you think the broccoli might end up a bit too salty, it won't taste too salty in the end. Feel free to use however much you like though. When the broccoli has cooked, drain or pat away the moisture for a vivid colour and salty flavour! Recipe by Aki kitchen *aki cookpad.japan -
