1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce

Trim the fat and cut the ham steak into 4-6 serving pieces. Fill medium sized sauce pan with water 1 - 1 1/2 inches deep, bring to boil and add broccoli, red cabbage, carrots and sugar snap peas. Cover with lid and boil for 2 minutes. Drain and set to the side. In a skillet, heat the teaspoon of oil over medium heat and add the ham steak pieces. Cook through, turning over as needed. Remove the ham and keep warm, but leave left over drippings in the skillet and add five-spice powder, honey and soy sauce, bring to boil. Stir in vegetables, heating through and coating them with the sauce. Spoon vegetable mixture over the ham steak and serve. 

Cheater, Cheater, Quick Eater Tip: To cut preparation time, use 3 cups of broccoli slaw mixture found by the lettuce in your grocer's produce section in place of the shredded veggies.
