This is the ultimate fast food! Mix and match the following vegetables, protein sources and flavourings for endless combinations.

• Vegetables cut into slices
• ½ - 1 tablespoon of olive/ sunflower/ sesame oil (depending on amount of vegetables)
• Suitable vegetables: onions, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, peas, sweetcorn, bok choi, baby sweetcorn, mange tout, green beans, mushrooms, courgette, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, green/ red/ yellow/ orange pepper ( or any others that you can think of)
• You could also add chopped chicken breast (without skin), prawns, Quorn chunks, tofu

1. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan.
2. Add your chosen vegetables and protein and cook for around 10 minutes (you might want to turn the heat down to medium and stir to prevent burning).
3. To add flavour, add one or a mixture of the following with the vegetables at the beginning: chopped root ginger, dried coriander, a little soy sauce, garlic, chopped green chilli
4. You can also try stirring in fresh coriander at the end of cooking and sprinkling on sesame seeds before serving
