Another tip on zesting, you can use a veg peeler and then cut the strips thinner with a knife and shorter if you wanted. Save some money on tools for the kitchen.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep, that works, too!

[@jodunlap2955]

Every recipe you take efforts to share, I always think it’s the best. I think this is the best. When I feel I can make this, it’s getting made. Where do you come up with these delicious recipes, Louise? This one is professional and I’m not kidding! God bless you, sweet lady. Thanks for taking the time to share this recipe. OMGOSH...

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much, Jo! You sound like my husband, he always says, "this is the best thing you've made." Every single time I make something new! I hope you love it and feel well enough to make it soon. I wish I could make it for you!

[@patzee61]

I love this video! In fact, every video you make is a gem. Your information is just enough to make me grow in knowledge about Foodi cooking without too much info in each lesson. I have made every video I have watched and all I can say is “WOW”. Bravo, girl...you are my Foodi guru!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much and I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos and recipes!

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!

[@syntraladeroute5372]

Definitely going to try this recipe, it looks really yummy.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!

[@jennigee51]

I read somewhere that you could use Worcestershire (I know Americans have a problem with that 😁 - so you pronounce it Wooster-shire) sauce instead of fish sauce, because it’s made with anchovies. I bought fish sauce to try, and I didn’t like it, even though there was only a small amount 🤮 As for oranges, they are the only reason I wish I lived in the States, oranges here are so NOT fresh!!! I really enjoy watching you, you’re definitely the best, I feel like you’re family more than someone showing me what they do! It all looks absolutely delicious! I’m definitely going to try that sometime, when my niece and daughter come for dinner 😊 Or I might just make it for me, and have it over four days 😋

[@TheSaltedPepper]

LOL! You can certainly use Worcestershire sauce instead, but I don't think it gives the right depth of flavor. As far as fish sauce goes, NEVER smell it or taste it on its own. It is enough to make you want to never eat again. LOL Every time I use it, I have to remind myself that my food will not taste like the fish sauce smells. I hope you make it and love it, with or without fish sauce!

[@leslieslass]

I so wish you were my teacher when I use my Ninja. You have a calmness & confidence about you, which makes you an excellent utuber.I'm not being funny in typing that , I'm serious. You make me feel more confident in using mine @ The Salted Pepper. You make wonderful videos.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Congrats on the new Foodi! I hope you love it!

[@chapman1569]

I would like to use the Ninja Food to blanch green beans to freeze them. I am thinking steaming for 0 minutes in the basket and then cold bath. I would also like to do homemade garlic croutons again in the basket. I like how you found ways to use the Food. I find it save a lot of energy by not heating a big owen and time when using the pressure.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Sounds great!

[@leeannecarr8116]

I love your video's - def feel like I'm in the kitchen with you. I have bought a couple of things from your Amazon store. Keep up the good work & can't wait to see new video's!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much!

[@reneebowz3826]

I was interested in purchasing a Ninja Foodi. When I found your videos on You Tube, I was encouraged. I bought the foodi, and I continue to watch your videos. You do a great job with your presentations and your husband is excellent with the camera. I want to buy some accessories. How do I do that so you get the credit on Amazon and on PC? Thanks

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That is so kind of you! My Amazon store is: amazon.com/shop/thesaltedpepper and my Pampered Chef website is: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance, you can email me at [e-mail] if that is easier.

[@janhilger2681]

Hi Louise. This recipe looks and sounds del. so I jumped right in and ordered a bamboo steamer so I can try it. I’ve never used one of these stea,Myers before so I have questions. On your video it looked as though you set the steamer base directly in the water in the bottom of your Ninja pot Would it be OK to use my Goldlion sling on the bottom to keep from getting the bamboo bottom wet? I’ve seen 8” perforated parchment papers on Amazon but the reviews referred to using them in the Crisp basket. Would it be a good idea to use them in this steamer basket (such as when you put your broccoli flowerets directly in the bamboo basket?). I liked the idea of using the Big Daddio cake pan for the rice. I look forward to hearing your advice. Thanks so much for your extremely informative videos. Jan

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The bamboo is fine to sit in the water, but you won't hurt anything by using the sling either. The height of the sling might put the steamer too high in a 6.5qt Ninja Foodi. You can use parchment, but it isn't necessary. The steamer I have has been out of stock for quite a while, unfortunately. It is the perfect size, so I am very interested to hear which one you purchased and how it fits. I'd love it if you would email me after you get it and let me know. People ask me for them all the time and I'm not sure which one to recommend now. Thanks and my email is [e-mail]

[@erincox-holmes2657]

I am so grateful for you and your Foodi videos! I watch when getting ready in the mornings! In fishing around on Amazon I found the steamer basket. I also found a number of stackable stainless steel steamer baskets for pressure cookers. One would fit the foodi and comes with a sling, eliminating the extra baking pan and the graffitti bands. Is the bamboo better?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The different materials will conduct heat differently. One isn't necessarily better than another and since I don't have the stainless steel one, I can't really comment on it. I'm guessing that the one you are looking at has a layer with holes and a solid layer? I do like the Bamboo one even though I have to put a cake pan in for certain things because the bamboo doesn't retain the heat from the steam and inadvertently overcook the food. I think either will work, but you may need to adjust the time when using the stainless steel. I'm trying not to buy a ton of specialized stuff for the Foodi to make it easier for everyone, but I fell in love with this bamboo steamer set! I will be putting out a video on steamed buns and they turn out perfect in it. I do put the links to the products I use in the description of the video, but in case you want to compare what I use with what you are looking at, here is the link for the bamboo steamer I use: amzn.to/2F6XOBd. The cake pans are my go to for sure and these are the ones I have: amzn.to/2ClidCd I use both the 6" and the 8" in my recipes. Thanks for watching and for the nice compliments! I do appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!

[@erincox-holmes2657]

That makes sense. Thank you! On another issue entirely, I made your spaghetti recipe twice. Followed recipe exactly. Both times the red button popped up but never came to pressure. On one of the times, it bubbled away and everything was cooked, but the spaghetti was gummy. On the other it burned. Both times I had made sure nothing was sticking to the bottom of the pan, and the noodles were submerged. I am getting paranoid about the little dashes chasing each other and never making it to pressure!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Erin Cox-Holmes was there steam releasing? I have heard that this can happen when your seal is not seated correctly in the groove. I would do a water pressure test with 4 cups of water and see if it goes under pressure. I have had a few times where the spinning circle continues for several minutes after the button pops up, but it does come under pressure. The only thing I can think of is check the silicone ring, make sure your valve underneath the lid is clean, make sure the valve is on seal. I hope that helps and you are able to make the spaghetti because it is really good!

[@khentusa4302]

great informative for me >> i can't cook but thank you for shares

[@MelsSimpleMeals]

So informative and absolutely delicious! Love this video. I will have to see if London broil is cheaper than the stir fry pre-cut meat at the store next time :) This looks so much better than take out ! I love your channel :)

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Usually the pre-cut meat is more expensive if you compare cut to cut. I prefer to cut my own because I can get it thinner than the stir fry meat you buy. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the recipe!

[@darceyderosa2426]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes. Do you ever add garlic to your broccoli?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Darcey DeRosa You know, that’s an interesting question. I love garlic and use it in a lot of recipes. This recipe didn’t need it, in my opinion. I think it would be fine if you added some, but I wouldn’t add too much.

[@deborahsavalle2980]

I love your recipes!!! So glad I found you on here! I have a couple of questions...would this recipe work with chicken? Also, what if I don't have the steamer basket? Can I still make the rice in my Foodi? Sorry, but I am new to the Ninja Foodi and excited to try new things.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, of course! I have other recipes that don't use the steamer and I put the rice in a pan and it's fine. I wanted to do a ton of recipes with the steamer and only did two! I do love it though and I hope to get more videos out using it.

[@GilaMonster971]

Needed to tenderize the beef with baking soda for about 30 mins and then rinse it off. It’s a trick Chinese restaurants use to get tough meat tender.

[@leslieslass]

@ The Salted Pepper, would it be possible to get your double steamer basket in the UK?. That dish looks so yummy & fabulous.

I got it on Amazon, but I'm not sure how that works in the UK. Here is the affiliate link: amzn.to/2XWYAcZ

[@brackenreede]

Just wondering if you have tried using frozen broccoli in this recipe? Just got my Foodi and can’t wait to make this recipe

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I haven't, but I'm sure it would be just fine.

[@heidiwheatley6292]

Have you done any recipes that utilize the slow cooker setting. Like a soup.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I’m working on pork loin recipe that uses the slow cooker. I haven’t done any soups because they are so fast with the PC function. I’ll start doing more stews and soups towards fall.

[@heidiwheatley6292]

The Salted Pepper thank you

[@bettyweeks5188]

Hi Louise, could you tell me if the rice steamer fits in the Ninja Foodi 6.5 quart? I don't know if you are using the 8 quart or the 6.5 quart. Also will the time for your recipes be the same, for the 6.5 quart. Thank you, Betty

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm using the 6.5 qt in this video and most of my other videos. If I use the 8 qt, I will say that for sure. From what I understand (from people who make my recipes in the 8 qt) everything is pretty much the same. As far as the bamboo steamer goes, it does fit in the 6.5qt, but you can't fit the lid when using both layers. I usually cover it if need be with a silicone cover or foil. In the 8 qt, the lid fits with both layers.

Could you use arrowroot powder or tapioca flour instead of cornstarch?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I haven't tried it, but you probably can.

[@jjsmith9223]

Louise, do you have any suggestions on improvising a two item steamer basket set up? Not sure I want to buy one. My kitchen storage is limited. My Ninja lid took up the last open space in the parking lot!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I think you could probably use 2 cake pans stacked. Or just set the broccoli on top of the covered rice. You may need to remove the broccoli sooner than 5 minutes.

[@danaporter9196]

We don’t like spicy food. So, can we leave out the chili paste? I’m binge watching all your videos. Thank you

[@mikelogan5629]

I have to share a funny story about this recipe. I’m a huge orange beef fan, but it’s not always prepared delicately enough. I don’t want chewy beef. I was ecstatic about this recipe. Struggle to find a few ingredients. Get everything home and plan to make them next night. Zest 4 oranges, a lot of work. Squeeze out the juice. Create my marinade and get going on that. Look at the husks of squeezed oranges. Turns out the bag of oranges were very small grapefruits. You had to look to find that label. In the store these bags label citrus were next to the navel oranges. Grapefruit beef is a big no.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Oh no! That's good to know though!

[@Michelle69141]

How do you make orange chicken in the Foodi? Please help my son loves it.
