Looks like this recipe is popular for the ZWT 4 Add More Veggies Challenge. It was my base recipe also. I used broccoli, sugar peas, English peas, spinach, carrot, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots,yellow summer squash, red bell pepper, mushrooms and onion (no sugar). This was served over steamed brown rice for a great dinner. Made for the Diabetic Forum "Add More Veggies" Challenge (ZWT4)

I know the Chinese believe more than 3 veggies looks like you are cleaning out the fridge but thats excactly what I did. I had some broccoli, green beans, green pepper, mushrooms in small quanties. So my fifth veg I took a carrot for colour. Hubby needs to eat lots of veggies so he was very happy . I enjoyed the dish as well. I added some soy sauce the last few seconds and it tasted very good. Thank you for a nice meal. I made this for ZWT4 for the Asian challenge for the Chic chefs

Well, so I'm not terribly Chinese-traditional, but then the challenge I cooked this for required 5 veggies! So, besides opting for 1 teaspoon of garlic, I used 1/2 a good size head of broccoli, 1/2 green pepper, 1 zucchini, 1 cup of cut green beans & 1 cup of snow peas! I put the pepper, geans & peas in first & cooked them for a minute of so longer than the other 2 veggies! It all came together quite nicely, & the flavor imparted by the peanut oil & garlic made this a GREAT DISH!
