Notes

The nest advise that I can share with you is to cook the vegetables in order of how physically hard they are.

It is really simple. I start out with a little coconut oil in the pan, just because I like it but use any cooking oil you prefer, and add the aromatics.

Next I add the chopped yams (sweet potatoes) as these are the hardest vegetable that needs to be cooked and I just add a couple of tablespoons of water and put on a lid and steam the yams in the wok.

Then I take the lid off and throw in the vegetables in order of harness such and stir fry them with the spices and you are done like dinner. It is that easy!!!

You do not even need to make rice as it has filling sweet potatoes.

Feel free to use any vegetables you have in your refrigerator or freezer just remember to cook them in order of firmness. If you like, feel free to add in a protein source like chicken, etc.
