Introduction

Brought To Your Kitchen From SparkPeople Member: LBBROCK195

"This recipe is very low calorie if you go easy on the pasta, rice and butter. It is also very versatile. You can omit any vegetable you dislike and add any you do like. Just consider the cooking time needed for any added vegetable. Also if the vegetables are too crunchy for your taste just steam them a little longer.
Be sure to add some protein to this meal. I like a little baked tempeh with mine. But some beans would be fine."

    Very Good
    Great recipe! I steamed some veggies and mixed them into the cooked rice. I cooked the rice in chicken bouillon instead of water. Yummy! - 1/6/16

    use fish sauce ( made from anchovy fish) instead of salt to taste for aroma and better taste. try it...

    Hi There(: now they have the steaming bags, and there great, you could separate them if you wish, but all your veg. is done at the same time, if you thought some of the softer veg. needed to be done do them separate(: - 4/12/08
