Guest guest Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 sorry but I've always feared,dreaded and hate steamed vegetables. make mine stir fried with lots of seasonings. I can only handle broccoli raw and with a dip. who knows maybe someone will put up a recipe that I'll try. I never aquired the taste for squash either but I can handle a little thrown in something as long as it dont stand out. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I'm going to be making a stir fry (made one a couple of weeks ago as well). I first saute up some onion and garlic...then add a bit of water (be careful of temp when adding water to the bit of oil) to create a small amount of a bath, add in raw veggies, put a lid on and sorta steam them for a bit, leaving them crunchy. Then add in some hoisen sauce and stir fry sauce and keep folding over... Your still getting that steam type of cook but with a nice coating of flavor... stir-steam?? good stuff...add it over thin noodles or rice. S.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Don't know if this counts as steaming or not, but my favorite way to fix fresh asparagus is to fry it in grapeseed oil and a few shakes of veg-all seasoning until browned, then add a little water and continue frying until most of the water has evaporated and the asparagus is tender.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 My last batch consisted of broc, baby carrots, onion, bean sprouts, bell pepper, snow peas, 1 or 2 jalapenos, garlic, fresh Thai basil, fresh mint and some peanuts. The coating was hoisen sauce, soy sauce, a sweet chili Asian sauce and ground pepper (i think onion powder as well). I actually wanted it to have some sweetness with only a bit of heat this time...usually I go for the heat. While the nice thick coating of flavor was infusing into the veggies in the hot pan, I threw in some " cooked " rice vermicelli and stirred. It turned out excellent!

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I love steamed broccoli and cauliflower. I usually serve them as their own side dish and I add a bit of crushed salt and lots of fresh ground pepper. I time the steaming by looking. Once the broccoli is bright green, it is done. The cauliflower turns whiter. You can also use a small fork if the pieces are big enough; which mine are. Great topic!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I don't steam many veggies anymore, since my steamer went kaput. I still steam artichokes, but I've found that I prefer my asparagus baked, sauteed, or grilled. I do steam brown rice. I nuke or sautee frozen broccoli or carrots- when nuking them, it's the steam that largely cooks them, but it takes much less time and there's no broccoli stink in the house. - priscilla , " ~ PT ~ " <patchouli_troll> wrote: > Rad's post brought this one to mind: > > How many here eat steamed veggies? > Which ones do you prefer prepared that way, and > how do you typically serve them? > Do you serve them with rice or pasta, or just on > their own? > What sort of seasonings do you add after they are > cooked? > > Just share your steamed veggie tips and advice ~ > with our diverse membership we are all sure to learn > a new tip or idea to try... maybe two. > > ~ PT ~ > > To do nothing is sometimes a good remedy. > ~ Hippocrates, physician (460-c.377 BCE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 That is a great idea for the broccoli " stink " ; thanks! Now that I am selling my house I really appreciate ideas for ways to keep my cooking from becoming bad lingering odors. ~ PT ~ In contemplating my own ancestors, I have arrived at the conclusion that Celtic people are not only a people of the water but also, and even more so, we are the consummate children of the mist. ~ Frank MacEowen, 'The Mist-Filled Path ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~> , reptile grrl <reptilegoddess> wrote: > I nuke or sautee frozen broccoli or carrots- when nuking them, it's the steam that largely cooks them, but it takes much less time and there's no broccoli stink in the house. > > - priscilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
