THAI STEAMED GREEN GARDEN WITH COCONUT-PEANUT SAUCE



Thai Steamed Green Garden with Coconut-Peanut Sauce image

Offering an attractive presentation of steamed fresh veggies, this is a nice change of pace from stir-fries. It's a fresh-tasting meal that gets its personality from a luscious sauce.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 recipe Coconut-Peanut Sauce or Salad Dressing (page 215)
2 large broccoli crowns, cut into bite-size florets
8 ounces slender green beans (see Note), cut in half
2 stalks lemongrass, cut in half, optional
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 red or orange bell pepper, cut into narrow strips
2 scallions, cut into 1-inch lengths
Two 8-ounce packages White Wave Thai-flavored baked tofu, cut into narrow strips
Salt to taste
Hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce according to the recipe. Leave it at room temperature or heat until just warm if desired; set aside until needed.
  • In a wide skillet or stir-fry pan, combine the broccoli florets and green beans with just enough water to keep the bottom of the pan moist.
  • If using the lemongrass, bruise each section by creating long slits with a sharp knife. Lay them over the vegetables in the pan. Cover and steam until the broccoli and beans are just beginning to turn bright green, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini, bell pepper, scallions, and tofu. Give the mixture a good stir, cover, and continue to steam until the vegetables are all tender-crisp, another 2 to 3 minutes. Season lightly with salt.
  • Serve at once with or over hot cooked rice. Pass the sauce in a spouted cup so everyone can use as much as they like.
  • This one-dish meal can be finished without much further ado. When I'm in a rush, I like this with rice-stick noodles; with a little more time to spare, it's delicious with brown basmati or forbidden black rice (a medium-size, nutty variety that's actually more purple than black). Either way, complete the meal with a platter of yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, chunks of mango and/or canned or fresh pineapple, and baby corn.

THE BEST THAI PEANUT SAUCE

This easy no-cook peanut sauce has a terrific authentic Thai taste. It is spicy and peanutty, and is perfect as a dipping sauce for chicken, shrimp, and beef...or even to use tossed with warm cooked noodles for a quick pasta dish.
