Steamed & Teeming with Flavour

Let’s be honest, steamed vegetables can be boring and unappetizing. Whenever they are served, we always feel obligated to take some because it is healthy and good for us – even if we are not monitoring our blood pressure, blood sugar levels or cholesterol. Today I’m going to share with you a way to turn all those bland steamed vegetables into flavourful delicious bites. You just may find yourself eating more steamed veggies.

There are only 3 vegetables that I like steamed and will eat just like that – broccoli, ochro and corn. However, with the addition of ginger-scallion sauce, I have added other vegetables to the lineup, mainly bora. Other vegetables such as pumpkin, cabbage, carrots, squash, and butternut squash will work with this sauce too.
