Sesame Vegetables


Ingredients:

Broccoli - 1 head
Asparagus - 10-15 stems
Mushrooms - 10
Bell Pepper - 1
Onions - 1 big
Sesame seeds - 1 tbsp
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
Soy sauce - 2 tbsp
salt
green chillies - 5 approx
Corn Starch - 1 tbsp
Sugar - 2tbsp (Optional)

Method:

Cut all the vegetables. Heat a Wok, add oil and fry the green chillies first, this would turn the oil to a chilli flavoured pungent oil. Then add all the vegs, keep stirring and frying until they are half cooked and have little crunch left in them. Toast the sesame seeds in a seperate pan. Add salt, soy sauce & sesame seeds to these vegs..stir for sometime, place a lid and let the flavours blend into the vegs. In a small bowl mix half cup of water and corn starch without lumps, add it to the vegs and keep stirring over high heat for 2-3 mins. The corn starch will cook and form a creamy layer on top of the vegetables. If u like these veggies to be "sweet" like the ones we get in the chineese takeouts, add sugar to the dish and let it melt. Done.
