Quick Easy Main Dish: Sweet & Sour Veggie Stir Fry

Fresh Seasonal Vegetables, Tofu Or Seitan, Over Noodles Or Rice

Vegan recipe courtesy Jill Nussinow, MS, RD, from her cookbook, 'The Veggie Queen, Vegetables Get The Royal Treatment'

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

Serves 4: 'Add tofu, tempeh or seitan to make this seasonal stir fry a quick and easy main dish, and serve over rice, quinoa or noodles (prepare ahead).
