That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Steaming vegetables in a small amount of water is recommended in order to retain the vitamins and minerals in them. This method of cooking helps to preserve the nutrients as the vegetables are not submerged in a large amount of water, which can cause them to leach out. Steaming also allows for a shorter cooking time, minimizing nutrient loss.
