How do you cook frozen vegetables...

Was just wondering how you all cook frozen vegetables? do you steam them, stir fry them.

What can I add besides salt to give them more flavor...

I usually just cook them in water until done, bright green and fork tender (I hate over cooked veggies.)

Then I usually just add some salt pepper and garlic powder

Depends on the veggie and what I am cooking with it.

I will stir fry if I am making a stir fry for dinner but normally I will just boil a little bit of water, toss in the veggies and cook for 5-8 minutes until brightly colored and ready.

I only steam fresh veggies and I hate to microwave veggies at all.

My sister's MIL adds Soy Vey Terayaki sauce to them when finished, just a little bit for flavor.

i saute them, usually w/a little garlic.

I put them frozen in the top of my steamer pot with a bit of water in the bottom and then steam them.

I've been using those zip and steam bags. THEY ROCK!

We mostly use fresh veggies, but we always buy veggies for our stir fries pre-mixed and frozen. I'll pour a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and dried ginger. When it heats up, I toss in the veggies and cook until they're hot, but still firm.

We've made brussel sprouts from frozen two different ways recently:

1. still frozen, sauteed with oil and garlic until hot

2. defrosed in the bag, cut in half roasted at 400 (cut side down) w/ a bit of olive oil.
