Favourite Foods to Steam? :D

  • Hey ladies (and gents!),

    I'm making it my March resolution to incorporate more steamed main meals in my diet. I do enjoy steamed food, but I don't cook much variety. I tend to lean towards steamed salmon and some typical vegetables like carrots, long beans and peas.

    If you're a regular steamer, I was wondering if you could recommend your favourite steam recipes?

    What low-calorie condiments/flavourings also go well with steamed food?

    Thanks for the help!
  • A friend gave me this recipe for steamed kale. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds good!

    12 cups chopped kale
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon soy sauce
    salt and pepper to taste

    Steam the kale for 7-10 minutes, or until tender. Mix together the
    other ingredients, pour over steamed kale, and toss.

    Personally, I wouldn't add any extra salt.
  • This sounds good. Kale is a new veggie for me, haven't tried it yet. Will be trying this tomorrow, thanks :-)
