Answer
I'm not 100% sure but I think you're looking for the word "al dente" which means firm to to the bite for full flavor.
No, with al dente (spaghetti for instance) it still has to boil. I'm going for "soak" or "blanche" which is not cooking - but how can you cook anything without boiling it?? Unless it means to simmer, which is done by boiling first, then keeping cooking at just below boiling point.
