Veg Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce

I am so excited to have cooked this, it is fantastic. I cannot even tell you.

Ingredients

Rice

1 c. brown rice
2 c. water

Veggies
(all amounts approximate)

1/2 white onion,
chopped
a handful of baby carrots
3 leaves of bok choy,
chopped
3 mushrooms, sliced
1 sweet potato, chopped
1/2 head of broccoli, broken up into florets
1/2 block of tofu, cubed

one recipe of peanut sauce

Methodology

There are two fantastic things about this dish. One is the timing.

1. Put water and rice in a pot over high heat. You can throw in some spices if you want - cumin, turmeric, coriander. Cover. Chop up the veg.

2. Put some oil and garlic in a pan and start the vegetables cooking in a wok or deepish frying pan (make sure it has a lid). I recommend throwing in the carrots, onions, and tofu and letting it brown a bit, then adding everything else. Put in about a cup of water and put the lid on to let it steam.

3. Make the peanut sauce at this point. Keep an eye on the rice, it is probably nearing completion.

4. The veg should be done around the time you finish the sauce Pour the sauce over the veg. Serve over rice.

Notes
