Steamed Asian Sesame Veggies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 1 large carrot, sliced
• 1 stalk celery, sliced
• 1/2 cup snow peas
• 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 pinch black sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Bring water to a simmer in a skillet over medium heat; add broccoli, water chestnuts, carrots, celery, snow peas, and ginger. Simmer until vegetables are just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any remaining water.

Mix garlic into vegetable mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with soy sauce and sesame oil, cooking until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in toasted sesame seeds.

Sprinkle black sesame seeds over vegetables before serving.
