Cooking with a Bamboo Steamer

Steaming your veggies in a bamboo steamer will help them retain their nutrients, keep their natural flavor and the steam won't dry them out like other cooking methods do.  Bamboo steamers are a good choice as they are environmentally friendly and also help cut down on cooking time as well as making your ethnic dishes more authentic. I recently purchased a bamboo steamer at one of our local international markets and hope to try it out soon!
