The best way to do this is start the rice, and begin chopping your veggies and throw a little Mrs. Dash on 'em. Then halfway through the process, throw the veggies in your little steamer tray. I know what you're thinking. I can hear you now, even as I type at a miraculous 145 words per minute. "But, Bill, I eat rice several times a month and it seems like so much work." Trust me, if you get one of the new-fangled rice cookers you will be eating more rice and steamed veggies than you ever have in your life and it's really easy.
