Notes
Feel free to use all sweet potatoes for this recipe and any vegetables you desire. The goal is to use up all the bits and bobs of vegetables in your crisper.
However, always remember that you need to cook your hard vegetables first and then your softer vegetables last.
Do not over crowd your wok or frying pan.
