Directions for Stir fry:

Coat large frying pan or wok with sesame oil at medium high temp.

Add minced garlic and ginger and other seasonings such as salt

Add in denser veggies like carrot, zuchinnis, onions and let saute til slightly soft then;
Add in rest of veggies (dense to less dense) until steaming hot and slightly fried, crisp but not overcooked.

 I like my veggies more crispy, they are healthier as well, and less nutrients are cooked out, when still "living"

Mix all ingredients into saucepan and cook on med/ low while preparing stir fry veggies, stir often, if too thick add more water, add more cayenne if you have a spice for life.

Marinade: Tamari, rice vineager, pineapple juice, sesame oil and seeds, and cayenne pepper.

Bake or grill strips of marinated chicken or tempeh on shish-ka-bob sticks
