Method 
When buying broccoli select bright, deep green 
( tightly closed ) florets on tender firm.
Salk's. you can cook it with some water in a pan & boil for 10 minutes, but with steaming, more nutrients are preserved, remove the leaves & peel off the thick skin around stems. cut into bite-sized pieces & rinse thoroughly in tap water. Carrots are better steamed as nutrition is not lost & the rich, orange colour retained. wash, scrape skin & slice. 
Arrange broccoli & carrot in the steamer tray, peanuts & steam 15 minutes. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, & sugar in a bowl. Pour the dressing over the steamed vegetables  & Steam for 5 minutes before serving.
