Home›Rice, Grain and Starch Dishes›Cooking Method›SteamingCulinary TechniqueSteamingMoist-Heat and Combination Cooking MethodsReference and ClassificationVerifiedSteaming cooks food by fully surrounding it with steam rather than immersing it in boiling water, so the steam condenses on the food's surface and the resulting water drips away rather than pooling around it. The technique is carried out in dedicated steamers, in a wok fitted with a rack, or in similar improvised setups, and it requires far less water than boiling since only enough is needed to keep generating steam continuously. Because the food never touches the boiling liquid directly, steaming is widely regarded as a comparatively healthy cooking method that preserves more of a food's texture, color and nutrients than boiling does.SteamingConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)SteamingFilter Results9 entriesCuisineAllBritish Cuisine (1)Chinese Cuisine (1)Filipino Cuisine (1)German Cuisine (1)Indian Cuisine (3)Indonesian Cuisine (1)Malaysian Cuisine (1)North African Cuisine (1)Singaporean Cuisine (1)Swedish Cuisine (1)CourseAllDessert (2)Main Course (4)Side Dish (1)Snack or Street Food (2)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (1)Contains Fish or Shellfish (1)Contains Meat or Poultry (2)Vegan (6)Main IngredientAllBlack Pepper (1)Butter (1)Cassava (1)Chicken (1)Chili Pepper (1)Coconut (1)Coconut Milk (2)Cream (1)Egg (1)Lentil (1)Milk (1)Mushroom (1)Peanut (1)Potato (1)Rice (3)Sugar (2)Urad Bean (1)Wheat (1)Dish FamilyAllEuropean Grain and Starch Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (2)Southeast Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (5)Format/TypeAllEuropean Grain and Starch Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (2)Southeast Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (5)Origin RegionAllAfrica (1)China (1)India (2)Indonesia (1)Malaysia (1)North Africa (1)Philippines (1)Singapore (1)The Maghreb (1)United Kingdom (1)Era (Origin Period)All920 (1)1066 (1)1100 (1)1747 (1)1930 (1)TraditionAllBread Baking (1)Fermentation (2)Lenten Fasting Foods (1)Spice Trade Traditions (1)Street Food Culture (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 9Chwee kuehSteamingCouscousSteamingDhoklaSteamingIdliSteamingMashed PotatoSteamingNasi dagangSteamingNasi timSteamingPichi-pichiSteamingPutu PiringSteamingConnectionsAssociated WithCouscous, Dishes Well-attested Prepares DishesBaozi, Dishes Well-attested Source Baozi (Wikipedia)tier 3Beondegi, Dishes Well-attested Source Beondegi (Wikipedia)Betutu, Dishes Well-attested Source Betutu (Wikipedia)Bolu kukus, Dishes Well-attested Source Bolu kukus (source article)Buuz, Dishes Well-attested Source Buuz (Wikipedia)tier 3Chawanmushi, Dishes Well-attested Source Chawanmushi (Wikipedia)Chwee kueh, Dishes Well-attested Source Chwee kueh (Wikipedia)Couscous, Dishes Well-attested Source Couscous (Wiktionary)tier 3Dhokla, Dishes Well-attested Source Dhokla, WikipediaFish Amok, Dishes Well-attested Source Fish Amok (Wikipedia)tier 3Har Gow, Dishes Well-attested Source Har gow, WikipediaHot Dog, Dishes Well-attested Source Hot dog - WikipediaIdli, Dishes Well-attested Source Idli (Wikipedia)tier 3Khanom tan, Dishes Well-attested Source Khanom tan (Wikipedia)Kue talam, Dishes Well-attested Source Kue talam (Wikipedia)Mandu, Dishes Well-attested Source Mandu (food) (Wikipedia)Mashed Potato, Dishes Well-attested Source Mashed Potato (Wikipedia)Moin Moin, Dishes Well-attested Source Moin Moin (Wikipedia)tier 3Momo, Dishes Well-attested Source Momo (food), WikipediaNacatamal, Dishes Well-attested Source Nacatamal - WikipediaNagasari, Dishes Well-attested Source Nagasari (Wikipedia)Nasi dagang, Dishes Well-attested Source Nasi dagang (Wikipedia)Nasi tim, Dishes Well-attested Source Nasi tim (Wikipedia)Orama, Dishes Well-attested Source Orama (dish) (Wikipedia)Otak-otak, Dishes Well-attested Source Otak-otak (Wikipedia)Pichi-pichi, Dishes Well-attested Source Pichi-pichi (Wikipedia)Putu Piring, Dishes Well-attested Source Putu piring (Wikipedia)Romeritos, Dishes Well-attested Source Romeritos (Wikipedia)Siomay, Dishes Well-attested Source Siomay (Wikipedia)Steamed Curry, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia, Steamed curryTamale, Dishes Well-attested Source Tamale (Wikipedia)tier 3Urap, Dishes Well-attested Source Urap (Wikipedia)SourcesFish Amok (Wikipedia)tier 3WikipediaPrepares Dishes: Fish Amok, Lead sentenceQuote, Prepares Dishes: Fish Amok, Lead sentenceFish amok or amok trei (Khmer: អាម៉ុកត្រី [ʔaːmok trəj]) is a Khmer steamed fish curry (amok) with a mousse-like consistency, considered oneView the SourceIdli (Wikipedia)tier 3WikipediaPrepares Dishes: Idli, Lead sentenceQuote, Prepares Dishes: Idli, Lead sentenceThe cakes are made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented hulled black lentils and rice.View the SourceNasi dagang (Wikipedia)Prepares Dishes: Nasi dagang, Lead sentenceQuote, Prepares Dishes: Nasi dagang, Lead sentence[ˌnasi ˈdaɡaŋ]) is a Malaysian dish consisting of rice steamed in coconut milk, fish curry and extra ingredients such as pickledView the SourceSiomay (Wikipedia)Prepares Dishes: Siomay, Lead sentenceQuote, Prepares Dishes: Siomay, Lead sentence燒賣;
