A great way to eat a variety of vegetables is to cook up our family’s favorite Farmers Market Veggie Stir Fry. Not everyone feels like they can eat the recommended 8-12 cups of the suggested amount of vegetables a person should eat in a day. Cooking up this wonderful Stir Fry is one fabulously delicious way to eat a whole bunch of colorful seasonal veggies. We all know vegetables are what keeps our cells and our immunity strong and happy. Here’s a one pot dish that will make everyone happy!
Other great ways to enjoy your vegetables are to sear them in our blistered green beans. Using the same quick method of blanching your vegetables is to then quick sear them which gives them ton of great flavor and speeds up your cooking process. It’s hard to stop eating them! It’s the kind of veggie wars we love.

Tamari Sauce (wheat free) IF you don’t have Dave’s veggie stock
Instructions
1. Wash and cut all vegetables. Bring 4 Cups water to a boil, add vegetables, and blanch for 2-3 minutes, that’s it! Remove from hot water, and let vegetables drain in a colander. Set them aside.Watch our blanching video below.
2. Heat pan on medium and add 2 Tbsp. sesame oil.
3. Add all the spring onions, leeks, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté covered for 2 minutes. Uncover and let vegetables cook another couple minutes until nice and brown.
4. Add Dave’s tempa OR use marinated chicken, shrimp, grass fed beef or tofu, (cooking the meats before adding the Dave’s mung bean or cooked rice noodles)
5. Add 1/4- ½ C vegetable stock. Cover and steam for 2 minutes. Stir to heat thoroughly until noodles are softened.
6. Once Dave’s mung bean noodles are soft, add blanched vegetables.
