Notes
- Measurements are not critical in this recipe.
- You can steam the vegetables together, BUT you will more than likely have one of the veg overcooked, or undercooked. Follow the recipe for best results.
- Do not add all of the salt at once. You can always add more, but you cannot remove it.
- If you do not have a steamer, you can cook the vegetables in a pot with a little water in the bottom and get the same results. Just make sure the water doesn't steam dry.
