whatever-veg stir fry

This is a nice, flavoursome Asian style stir-fry. My favourite part is that you can adjust the recipe according with the seasonal availability of different veg. We like capsicum, mushrooms, onions, carrots, and broccoli. If I'm feeling like cheating I'll add cashew nuts :)

Chop up the veg into manageable pieces. Heat a neutral oil (rice bran, peanut, etc) and stir-fry the onion until translucent. Add garlic, ginger and stir-fry for another minute, then add the rest of the vegetables in sequence, bearing in mind that some take longer than others to cook. For example, we buy beautiful capsicums from the market that are deliciously sweet and caramelise well in this recipe - they should be added with the onions. At some point, add some soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
