To Steam

Pour 4 to 5 cups of water into a wok and bring it to a boil. Place steamers in the wok so that they sit evenly above, but not touching, the water. This can be done by using a cake rack. (You may not even need a cake rack; your bamboo steamers may just rest comfortably against the sides of the wok, above the water.) You will be able to stack two steamers, even more. Cover the top one, and the contents of all will cook beautifully. Keep boiling water on hand at all times during the steaming process, to replace any water lost because of evaporation.
