steamed vegetables
Hot, moist produce
Steamed vegetables are vegetables cooked by exposure to steam rather than boiling water or oil.
The method preserves nutrients, color, and texture better than most cooking techniques: just some steamed vegetables and rice.
The phrase often signals healthy but bland eating, sometimes with a note of resignation: I'm trying to eat better—steamed vegetables, no butter.
