当ﾋﾞ的にはあんまり代り映へせんが二通りにやつてみた：
When you cook a vegetable, which way do you take?
With water to boil? Or with boiling water in the first place?
Remember, the golden rule is that those vegetables
grown underground, in other words those in soil,
should be started with water; on the other hand,
those above the ground, should be with boiling water
in the first place.
Vegetables grown in soil, called “root vegetables”,
are generally very hard, and therefore should be soaked
in water, gradually heated and brought to a boil; then
they become soft and sweet. On the other hand,
vegetables above the ground are mostly leaves;
therefore, in order to keep them fresh, do not boil them
too much but just cook them until their stems turn soft.
When you cook a vegetable, do you put it into unpreheated
water and put them over heat together, or drop it onto boiling
water?
Remember the principle: vegetables underground, i.e. those
grown in soil should be begun with unpreheated water
whereas those above the ground should be with boiling water.
Vegetables grown in soil, called “root vegetables”, are
generally hard, and they are softened and turned sweet
when they are cooked slowly. On the other hand, vegetables
grown above the ground are mostly leaves, which easily
loose crispiness when they are boiled too much.
Just bath them in boiling water. If the stems/core portions
are softened, that’s enough.
