Blanching them for about 10 seconds in boiling water also does that. My
stir-fries always turn out bright and colourful. The trick is to know when
to stop cooking. See the broccoli in the blog link I sent last time.

Did I mention I know squat about photography? ;)
I want to be able to shoot photos like that gorgeous moonlight pic you sent
