Over cooked, Over done, just over is the typical way most restaurants cook vegetables. Steaming them is a healthy way if not over done but usually lacks in taste. It is important to cook your veggies so that they retain their nutrients and in order to do that you must not over cook them. They should have a nice tender inside but a bite or crunch to the outside of them. Stir Frying them will allow you to achieve their perfect balance. Salt in most restaurants starts at 300mg and climb from there. By combining the right spices, salt is not needed at all. This recipe will give you lots of flavor without the salt.
