Any veggie in the store, asparagus is great. Look at it while doing the chore. The color of it as it cooks is the best indicator of doneness but I can't be your eyeballs. It is just a diminution of the brightness of the "greenness" of the spears.

My mom got a steamer for Christmas and uses it constantly. I didn't know putting water and a steamer basket in a pot was so difficult but it has opened up a new world for her.

Squash, zucchini, asparagus, broccoli....you name it.

Ribeye...after you microwave it.


Kidding. Asparagus would be my choice.

Snap beans (green beans for those of you who don't speak country) are surprisingly good.

Steamed fish is a chinese delicacy.


Get a flaky white fish (preferably whole), steam it, then sprinkle with ginger, cilantro, salt,

Heat up a little peanut oil and soy sauce in a pan and throw a little on top of the fish.

The fish cheeks are the best part
