I just purchased an electric steamer and would like some ideas too!
I have been eating alot of salads, I love salads , but thought cooked (steamed ) veggies would be a nice change of pace. I particularly need ideas on "what spice to use on what". Hopefully the experienced cooks will give up some of there secrets!

I did some "searching" too and found a site with LOTS of recipes. Some are
for the basket steamer or oven steaming, but I think we can adapt them to the steamers. At least it tells the combinations, with the spices!

thanks for the tip!

I think it's wise to come up with your own recipes. Even though the prepackaged ones seem good with all the veg, they are FULL of sodium and extra things we really don't need. I use prefab things sometimes, but have tried to get away from using them too much.

I use a lot of spices when I cook but it seems like when I steam veggies I almost always use fresh cilantro, ginger and onion powder then I'll add a little watered down mushroom soy sauce (because it's a bit strong straight from the bottle for me) after I take it out. Tastes pretty good.
