- 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
- Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan.
- 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).
- 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
- You can also try stirring in fresh coriander at the end of cooking and sprinkling on sesame seeds before serving
