Sesame Steamed Vegetables

By: Heidi Doudna

"'Broccoli grows abundantly during the long summer days here in Alaska,' Heidi Doudna explains from Fairbanks. 'I like to harvest it and freeze it along with julienned carrots, so this is always ready to go. The two vegetables are wonderful together, and the judges at our state fair even awarded this dish a first prize.'"
