1 bunch broccoli, trimmed and cut into florets
1 yellow zucchini, cut lengthways
3 1/2 ounces baby corn
8 baby carrots, peeled

Tips:

  • For the best flavors, choose fresh and tender vegetables. Avoid wilted or overripe ones.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. This will also help them retain their shape and color.
  • When steaming vegetables, use a steamer basket or colander that fits snugly inside a pot. This will prevent the vegetables from touching the water and becoming soggy.
  • Steaming time will vary depending on the type of vegetables you are cooking. Generally, softer vegetables like broccoli and asparagus will cook faster than harder vegetables like carrots and potatoes.
  • To make the chile-lime butter, use a high-quality unsalted butter. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • For a spicier butter, use more chopped chile peppers. For a milder butter, use fewer.
  • Serve the chile-lime butter immediately after making it. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
