Cooking Vegetables

Clean the vegetables thoroughly. Cut off stems; trim, peel or chop if necessary. Smaller pieces will steam faster than larger pieces. For softer vegetable texture, increase steaming time, for firmer texture, decrease steaming time according to taste.

?Quantity, quality, freshness, size and consistent temperature of frozen food may affect steam timing. Adjust water amount and cooking time as desired.

?Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.

?Some frozen vegetables will produce better results if placed in the rice bowl during steaming. Frozen vegetables should be separated or stirred after 10-12 minutes. Use a long-handled fork or spoon to separate or stir to avoid steam burns on hands and arms.
