Quick and easy stir fry.
If you wish to add a protein (sliced tofu/meat), slice thin, and braise quickly in a hot, oiled pan (canola) till browned/cooked. Use spices at your discretion/taste. Remove from pan and set aside.
Saute fresh ginger & garlic in olive oil at low heat. Sprinkle w/ sea salt. Turn up the heat to medium, and add sliced vegetables of your choice. Cover and steam. Check every couple of minutes, stirring and adjusting heat. I like to use the garlic as a vegetable, at least 3/4 big cloves, onion or leeks, lots of broccoli, carrots, and/or whatever else is kicking around and fits together. Kale or other greens can be added at the very end, as they steam quickly.
When the veggies are almost cooked, add the protein, and stir to mix.
At this point, you may wish to add any soya sauce, curry paste or whatever, as it's a good base to many potential sauces. ; ) I prefer my veggies crunchy, so I mix quickly, and serve.
Asparagus and leeks make a nice saute. Eliminate the ginger, though, because it will overpower the other flavours, and just use garlic as a third vegetable and salt / pepper to taste. Yumm. Even better, you can mix the olive oil half-and-half w/ butter if you are not vegan.
Good on its own w/ beans, or poured over rice, or spaghetti squash.
Sundae: really good, creamy yoghurt, 1 cup,, 1 cup blueberries, drizzled w/ maple syrup.
