Author Notes
Minimalist that I am, I wasn’t remotely interested in cooking with steamer baskets until I learned this incredible recipe in a cooking class. I love that the steamer method is low-tech, easy to learn, and fast. At home I use a bamboo steamer, which creates an interesting and not unpleasant scent while steaming.
*You’ll need two stackable steamer baskets for this dish. —GreenSproutKits
