Awesome Veggie Stir Fry

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 cup carrots
• 1 cup snow peas
• 2 heads of broccoli (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 red pepper (may also add yellow and green)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup onion, diced
• 1 pint of mushrooms, sliced (or 2, 4 ounce cans)
• 1 small can water chestnuts, drained
• 1 small can bamboo shoots, drained
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (I use the SOY VAY brand - Veri Veri Teriyaki)
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• Bragg's Amino Liquids to taste

Directions:

Turn wok (or large pot) on lowest setting. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and spread around wok. Add minced garlic, onions and carrot.

While those are cooking, cut up broccoli and snow peas. Add to mixture. Turn up heat add the water. Let steam for a minute. Next, add second tablespoon of oil and mushrooms. Add teriyaki sauce after a few minutes. Finally add water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and red pepper.

Continue cooking until all vegetables are coated. They should be softened but
not soggy!

This can be served with any rice of your choice or alone if you choose. Spray with Bragg's to taste.

May add tofu (which is delicious when cut up into small chunks), chick peas or any other vegetable or protein source for variety.
