Vegetables tossed in light soy based sauce.

A very refreshing, healthy vegetarian side with delicate flavor of soy and garlic. Super quick to make and you can eat as much as you wish to, with absolutely no guilt. This preparation goes well with both mild as well as a spicy main dish.

You need: 

Vegetables like Onions (layers removed, cut into squares), Cauliflower, Broccoli, Beans, Carrots/Baby carrots, Sugar snap peas, Squash of your choice or Zucchini, Peppers (red, yellow, green), Asparagus, Water chestnut, Lettuce leaves cut into chunks etc.

Garlic – Finally chopped

Dark soy sauce

Vinegar

Honey

Oil – ½ tbsp

Lime juice (optional)

Peanuts (optional) – handful (roasted and lightly crushed) -

1. Steam/ Cook all veggies (using microwave or on gas) till ¾ done. The vegetables need to be crunchy, and not soft/ soggy.
2. In a pan heat oil, add garlic. On low heat fry for 30 sec (make sure you don't burn it, else it will become bitter).
3. Add equal quantity of dark soy sauce, vinegar and honey. Stir till it thickens a little.
4. Add the veggies and toss for 30 secs.
5. Quickly transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle slightly crushed peanuts and squeeze a little lime juice on top. (adjust the lime juice as per your taste since vinegar has already been added)

* I use pre-cut oriental veggie pack when too lazy to chop (found Valley Fresh Steamers, or Whole Food's organic pre-cut packs to be good) But make sure you cook a minute lesser than what's mentioned in the package directions.

** You can skip peanuts if you wish to or replace it with any nut of your choice.

*** Note that salt has not been added since soy already has some salt in it . Adjust to taste.
