Why not start your medicinal cooking journey with the ever-popular “steamed bamboo steamer” method? This book proposes “medicinal cooking for one” meals made using a single bamboo steamer. By packing rice and side dishes in the bamboo steamer and steaming them simultaneously, it saves time and reduces the chance of mistakes, making it ideal for those living alone or those new to cooking. Helps you manage your health when living alone, which can lead to an unbalanced diet, and allows you to enjoy delicious food with the original nutritional value of the ingredients.
