The other thing I sometimes do is steam them like this (fresh ones) until they're *almost but not quite* done, then cut them in half and stir fry them in either butter or a little bacon grease, with maybe some crumbled bacon and possibly even some slivered almonds (if including the almonds, put them in first to get a little bit tan/brown, but *keep an eye on them* because they go from raw to burned in about 5 seconds). Optional tiny spritz of vinegar if the butter/bacon grease is too heavy a flavor. (rice vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, white wine vinegar -- any of them can be good.)
This is more work, but is also really really good.
