Cooking until softened or translucent refers to the process of cooking ingredients, such as onions or vegetables, until they become tender and semi-transparent. This helps to develop their flavor and texture, making them more palatable in the final dish. Depending on the recipe, this may involve sautéing, simmering, or steaming the ingredients until they reach the desired consistency.
