You can steam food while cooking rice or you can use Bonsai as a stand-alone steamer.
For steaming vegetables, meat or fish, place in the food container (the one divided into two sections). You may find
with meat, fish, seafood it’s best to add a piece of baking parchment so the food doesn’t stick to the container.
To use as a stand-alone steamer, add 1 cup of water to the base of the unit.

4. RECIPE IDEAS
Steamed chicken/fish/vegetables
You can cook plain chicken/fish/tofu/vegetables (from raw) in Bonsai.
Get creative with adding seasonings (like peri peri seasoning, Cajun
seasoning, Moroccan seasoning, furikake seasoning).
Add delicious sauces
Add sauces like Teriyaki, garlic soy, ginger chilli to your
chicken/salmon/tofu/vegetables for a delicious meal
Steamed rice with veg
This is cooked in the bottom rice container as an ‘all-in-one’ dish.
Follow the steps in Section 3.1 ‘How to Cook Rice’ but add small cubes of
vegetables, meat/tofu and any seasoning you want to the rice and water.
Once cooked, this will be like a steamed fried rice – healthy and
delicious
Have leftovers? No problem!
Bonsai can reheat your leftovers. For example, if you have chili con carne, a jalfrezi, tikka or Thai basil chicken
dish from the night before and want to reheat it - it’s easy. Just add any food to the top and bottom container as
directed in Section 3.4 and reheat. The options are endless!
