The vegetable kale can be tough or hard. But it keeps more nutrients if you don’t cook it too much. Here is a trick. Simply rub or massage the kale leaves with olive oil and seasonings. The leaves will break down and soften. The stems, or stalks, will remain tough. But you can sauté them or place them in soup for added vitamins and taste.

甘藍(lán)菜會(huì)不宜咀嚼，但是如果你烹飪時(shí)間不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)的話，能夠保持更多營(yíng)養(yǎng)價(jià)值。這兒有個(gè)小竅門。用橄欖油和調(diào)味品簡(jiǎn)單的把橄欖葉子調(diào)拌一下，這樣葉子就會(huì)松軟。甘藍(lán)的莖還是難以咀嚼，但是你可以炒一下或者放到湯里，增加維他命和提味。

After you massage your kale, add a little more olive oil and sweet balsamic vinegar as a dressing – or your own favorite salad dressing. Add your favorite toppings for a healthy and delicious salad.

調(diào)拌甘藍(lán)后，再加一點(diǎn)橄欖油和甜甜的香醋作為調(diào)味品——或者添加你喜歡的沙拉調(diào)味品。添加你喜歡的調(diào)料，制作健康美味的沙拉。

Steaming kale on the stovetop is a really healthy way of cooking this leafy green vegetable. First boil a pot of water and steam the kale on top in a steamer container.

在爐灶上蒸甘藍(lán)確實(shí)是做這種綠葉蔬菜的一種健康方式。首先燒開一壺水，然后將甘藍(lán)放入蒸籠里蒸。

You can also lightly sauté kale with garlic, some hot pepper and a little salt for a simple, delicious and healthy side dish. A side dish is a smaller dish that goes with the main meal.

你也可以用大蒜、一些小辣椒、鹽巴清炒一下甘藍(lán)，弄一道簡(jiǎn)單、美味、健康的配菜。配菜是跟主菜一起的小菜。

Sautéed kale with nuts also goes well with fish. Kale is tasty when sautéed with foods like tomatoes or red peppers.

清炒甘藍(lán)配堅(jiān)果與魚搭配味道很好。甘藍(lán)與西紅柿或者紅辣椒之類的食物一起炒時(shí)味道不錯(cuò)。

You can mix or drizzle kale with olive oil and bake it for 15 minutes until it gets crispy. These are called kale chips. You can also bake it on top of pizza for a healthy topping.
