Quick Easy Main Dish: Sweet & Sour Veggie Stir Fry
Fresh Seasonal Vegetables, Tofu Or Seitan, Over Noodles Or Rice
Use the freshest available vegetables. I almost always have carrots, onion and broccoli around, yet I have also made it with cauliflower or Romanesco broccoli in the winter.
In the summer, I use many varieties of squash or green beans. It's easiest to control the timing if you stick to no more than 4 vegetables' - Jill Nussinow, The Veggie Queen
