Steamed Veggies and Rice

I was told recently I should have a blog where I post my recipes. So I decided I should post some more of them.

Steamed Veggies and Rice

So with this recipe you can use pretty much any kind of veggie. I usually use asparagus, green beans, and bell peppers. Sometimes I add red cabbage, snap peas, bean sprouts, red and yellow bell peppers, and other veggies that just seam like they would steam well.

I put those veggies in a steam basket thing inside a pan with water underneath it. On top of the veggies I add about a tbs of butter cut in pieces across the top, along with a little garlic and sometimes I add tiny bit of lemon pepper, or garlic salt/pepper.

cook/steam the veggies for 30-45 mins. I know they are done when I can smell them in the house. Then I put the steamed veggies on rice.

Quick tip: When I cook rice I try to cook enough to last more than one meal and put the leftovers in the fridge. Then later that week I make something else with rice. It saves me time later in the week and doesn't take any extra time because I am already cooking rice for that night.
