Pro Tips for Steaming Vegetables :

1. Cut vegetables into similar-size pieces to help them cook uniformly
2. Check on veggies frequently to prevent them from getting mushy
3. If you want to steam different types of veggies together, start with the denser veggies to give them a head start
4. Remove veggies from the steam while they are tender but still a little crunchy

You can add some seasonings or sauces to taste and enjoy your steamed vegetables!
