I love this recipe. Its the fastest way to make a meal and a very healthy one. If you love vegetables this is the one for you. Its a colorful dish too.

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds mixed vegetables(you can use any of your fav vegetables like baby corn, carrots, bell peper, mushrooms, cucumber, snow peas, scallions and bean sprouts)
2-4 tblspn sunflower or olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tblspn fresh ginger root, grated
1/2 cup cashew nuts or 4 table spoon sunflower seeds
soy sauce
salt and freshly grounded black pepper

STEP1: Cut all your vegetables in think long slices and keep them ready

STEP2: Heat a frying pan with 2 tspn of oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Add the harder vegetables and toss over the heat for another 5 minutes, until they start to soften.

STEP3: Add the softer vegetables and stir fry everything over high heat for 3-4 minutes

STEP4: Stir in the cashew nuts or seeds. Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. Serve at one.

Enjoy!!! Live life healthy.
TIP for the day: Always consume not more than 1/2 tsp of salt per day. That will keep your blood pressure right.
