This book about steaming, has thirty-nine recipes in chapters titled: Seafood; Meat; Veggie, Bean & Mushroom; One-dish Meal. Only one page, titled: A room full of steam, is about this cookery topic, and it has just one suggestion about steaming. The recipes in this volume are more creative than most, as is this recipe.
