Veggies Galore

Falling back on an old favorite tonight. The veggie stir fry. Ages 14-16 when I first went vegetarian I ate some sort of stir fry nightly. The key is to stock your fridge constantly with veggies. If you are already into juicing, you are used to this. Tonight I made a bit spicey as I bought those hot little red peppers from a thai lady at the farmers market last week. Diced up very small 1 pepper and sauteed in a bit of high grade olive oil. Then added an entire onion (as I adore cooked to death onions), about a cup of mushrooms diced, a package of skinny french green beans and 3 red bell peppers. So after the hot pepper and onion get browned in the oil I add water and let it steam down a bit. Then add all the veggies. Add tamari, or amino acids or soy sauce to taste. And presto you have a very healthy and yummy and bright colored dinner. I used to eat it with huge piles of white rice, but tonight serving plain with salad and beans. You can also make with quinoa, brown rice, rice noodles, soba noodles, or a white fish if you eat it. Super simple. Its just about having the ingredients on hand and throwing whatever you have into the skillet.
Its not raw, but its still veggies and when you want something cooked and comforting this is a nice choice.
