steamed

Hot and angry

Steamed describes food cooked by steam rather than boiling water or direct heat: steamed vegetables, steamed dumplings.

The method preserves nutrients and texture.

Separately, steamed means angry or upset: She was steamed about the parking ticket.

This informal sense suggests heat rising from frustration.
