Unique Stir Fry

We had a hodge podge of veggies not delegated for the menu already, and so I made a unique stir fry with a recipe I adapted from an Ask Aida recipe.

Stir-Fry Sauce

1 T chilie garlic sauce

1 T sweet chili sauce

1 t honey

2 T orange juice

2 t sesame oil

2 t cornstarch

Whisk ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.

15 oz tofu, cubed or 1 pkg tempeh, cut into 1" pieces

2 T veggie oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 T ginger

veggies, I used:

2 carrots, sliced

4 turnips, sliced

1 summer squash, halved then thinly sliced

a handful of green beans, sliced into 1" pieces

beet greens, roughly chopped

Saute veggie oil and tempeh until brown. Add ginger and garlic, saute for 1 additional minute. To get some nice crisp on the tempeh, add a t or so of the sauce to the veggie oil.

Add turnips and carrots, saute for another 2 minutes. Then add green beans and squash, saute for another 2 minutes. Stir in beet greens and saute until wilted.

Stir sauce into veggie mixture and enjoy! The turnips added a nice crunch and flavor, reminded me of water chestnuts with a bit more flavor. The odd mixture was not very odd after all ;)
