Mixed Vegetable Stir-Fry

It is one of the easiest things to make. The only problem is that it cannot be made in advance. Vegetable stir-fry should be eaten as soon as it is made. So, just pre-cut all vegetables and make rice while your baby is watching Baby Mozart and do the actual frying right before dinner.

1. Cut – garlic - the more the better, onion – ½ of red, white, or few shoots of green whichever you have (today I am using the red onion), zucchini – 2 small, two small bell peppers (I used one red and 1 orange), broccoli (small cup of florets) and a bunch of bok choi (or Chinese cabbage or any other Chinese green leaf vegetable).
2. Heat well sesame oil (2 tbsp) and olive oil(1 tbsp).
3. Add garlic and onion - stir fry till nicely fragrant but not too brown.
4. Add zucchinis, bell peppers, broccoli – stir fry till brown on edges but still crispy.
5. Add green leafy vegetables, stir fry till more or less cooked – one minute or so.
6. Add soy sauce(2 tbsp), rice vinegar (1 tbsp), hoisin sauce (1 tsp) – mix well – cook for 1 min.
7. Remove and immediately serve with rice.
