My Culinary Adventures: Steamed Broccoli & Carrots with Balsamic Vinegar/Soy Sauce

I was so happy to be able to buy balsamic vinegar at the large grocery store in the city we had our annual meeting a couple weeks ago.  I can use it in so many dishes ^_^.


Recipe
Extremely adapted from Steamy Kitchen
Obviously I didn't use asparagus.  Didn't use an oven either.

Ingredients
1/2 head broccoli, broken into florets and stem pieces
1 carrot, chopped
2 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
  1. Boil 1-inch of water in a pot, then add the broccoli and carrots and cover pot with lid.  Lower heat to medium and steam vegetables until tender.  Drain when done.
  2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan occasionally. 
  3. Add garlic to pan and cook until done.
  4. Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over broccoli and carrots, tossing well to coat.  Add salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
