Efficient, healthy, and tasty!
I recently bought a steamer, and it’s been one month since I started using it. There are many benefits to choosing this cooking method:
- Easy to cook: Chop -> steam for 10 minutes -> wait 5 minutes with the lid on
- Easy to clean: Minimal oil -> steam without sauces
- Tastes good: Season with rock salt and ponzu vinegar
- No need to plan a menu: Use any vegetables in your fridge
- Healthy: Protein (chicken), fiber (cabbage, mushrooms), carbs (potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato)
I bought this steamer.
Easy to Cook
Steaming is simple.
Chop any vegetables you like and add some water to a deep pan.
Turn on the stove and steam them for about 10 minutes with the lid closed.
Then, turn off the heat and let the vegetables steam for an additional 5 minutes without opening the lid. Enjoy!
Tastes Good
I usually add chicken to the steamer, but I also enjoy it with pork.
For seasoning, I always use rock salt to add flavor.
Ponzu vinegar is another favorite sauce of mine.
I don’t often eat mayonnaise, but I sometimes add it to steamed potatoes.
Easy to Clean
What’s amazing is that the pan doesn’t get oily after cooking.
Since you don’t need to add oil when steaming, the pan stays clean, making it much easier to wash afterward.
No Need to Think About a Menu
You can use any vegetables you have in your fridge.
If you don’t have any, just pick up some cheap, seasonal vegetables from the market.
Here are the vegetables I usually use:
- Bean sprouts, eggplant, cabbage, carrots, enoki mushrooms, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, potatoes
The selection may vary depending on the season.
I want to add broccoli, but it’s been expensive lately…
Healthy
Steaming is healthier than deep frying.
During the day, I usually consume what I want to eat.
So for dinner, I prefer not to consume additional oil.
That’s why eating steamed meat and vegetables suits my lifestyle perfectly!
For example, yesterday I had steamed chicken, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and pumpkin, along with some rice and miso soup.
I feel great when I follow this diet.
Conclusion
I would recommend incorporating steamed vegetables into your diet if you want to eat healthier and enjoy seasonal ingredients every few months.
Steamed vegetables may seem bland to some.
I recommend it first to people who are already used to eating vegetables with little oil and minimal seasoning.
