Food Steamer recipes
« on: November 28, 2017, 10:55:26 PM »
So I got one of those $210 Oster 2 tier food steamers collecting dust in a box in my basement.

Decided I better use it. Anyone got some tasty recipes?

I can't eat beef and hard beans, due to a violent reactions from consumption.

You're supposed to cook them until they get soft  ;/

I have an autoimmune condition that is triggered by beef or dried beans. Other food additives too.

Surprisingly I can eat cured beef just fine.

Well there's your problem! You've been eating sick beef all this time, and it sets you off.

Steamed veg of all sorts. New potatoes. Rice and most grains.

Anything less generic?

Personally, no. I just like steamed veggies. They can be tossed or drizzled with whatever sauce or topping suits your fancy. A little salt, pepper, and butter is usually all I do.

However...

Back when I still ate grains (recently went Keto for weight loss and see if such helps my accursed eczema, which it seems to be doing), my favorite steamer recipe was:

Enough chicken stock to replace the water needed for:

.5 cup of dry brown rice
1 cup of stir fry frozen veggies
.5 cup of frozen mixed veggies (peas/carrots/corn)
2 small chicken breasts
NaCl/Black Pepper/Curry Powder/Cayenne pepper to taste

Steam for 50-55 minutes to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

About the only things I really steam are Chinese dumplings, shrimp, and sweet potato (when I'm making savory mashed sweet potatoes).

Those I steam using my rice cooker and the insert.
