I like to sautee/stir fry broccoli/green beans/asparagus, sesame oil, olive oil, cashews or almonds, about a teaspoon of fresh ginger (minced), and soy sauce.





If not, I just really like it steamed with lemon juice with maybe a tiny bit of Parmesan or garlic.
I steam broccoli. I put about an inch of water in a large pot, set a ceramic bowl on the bottom, put the broccoli in the bowl, bring the water to a boil, and steam it covered for about 10 minutes. It comes out perfect, not to soft or too tough.
