A delightful medley of steamed vegetables tossed in a creamy, spiced dressing, perfect for a quick and flavorful side dish.
Steam the broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots until tender-crisp.
Steaming the vegetables preserves their nutrients and vibrant colors.
Rinse the steamed vegetables under cold water to stop the cooking process, then drain thoroughly.
Rinsing with cold water helps maintain the vegetables' crisp texture.
In a small skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat and add the salt, ground ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, nutmeg, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic.
Stirring constantly prevents the spices from burning and ensures even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the spice mixture, sour cream, cider vinegar, and honey until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the dressing is well combined and creamy.
Toss the steamed vegetables with the dressing until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions, toasted pine nuts, and roasted peanuts before serving.
Adding the garnish just before serving keeps it fresh and crunchy.
