Directions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: cut them to the appropriate size, then cook them in boiling water or steam. Harder vegetables require a longer blanching time.
  2. Cool them: Immediately plunge the cooked vegetables into cold water to set their color and make them crisp.
  3. Seasoning: Drain the vegetables, place them in a dish, and season with soy sauce, mirin, and a little broth. The flavor should be subtle.
  4. Arrange the vegetables in containers, then serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
