Making vegetables (those with leaf) more "crunchy" (bite/tear off easily) - A Person Making Guacamole

Are there any solution to make leafy vegetables more "crunchy"? (I usually boil my leafy vegetables in water but it seems that when I bite them, they usually does not tear off easily. They become quite "sticky" like pan pizza.)

Best Answer

Leafy greens generally tear quite nicely when they are raw. If you apply any moist heat to them, they will wilt and no longer tear as nicely. In fact, certain leafy greens can become downright tough if you cook them to long.

If you'd still like to cook your greens, but retain a little of their crunch, you can always grill them.

Answer 2

If you want to cook veggies without losing their crispiness, try to soak them in a cold water with ice cubes after boiling it. I've done this many times and it works wonders.
