The Best Way to steam kale
Hey there! Steaming kale is super easy, and I'll show you how to do it perfectly every time. Here's what you need to do:
- Wash your kale and tear it into bite-sized pieces
- Remove the tough stems
- Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water
- Place a steamer basket in the pot (make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the basket)
- Bring the water to a boil
- Put your kale in the steamer basket
- Cover with a lid and steam for 5-7 minutes until it's tender but still bright green
That's it! Your kale is ready to eat. You can add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to make it taste even better! 🥬
Pro Tips:
- Don't overcook it - mushy kale isn't fun!
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a metal colander that fits your pot
