I did a stir-fry of veggies from City Fresh, the local Community Supported Agriculture program. I chopped a cubano pepper (medium hot) and two chinese eggplant, diced a small beet, and stemmed three handfuls of green beans, heated the wok on med-high with a couple Tbsp of canola and a Tbsp of sesame oil, then started w/ the green beans, seasoning w/ fennel powder and a bit of cayenne. As the beans were softening, I moved them to the margin of the wok and added the rest of the veggies to the middle. I hit the eggplant w/ some ume vinegar, then when they softened up I hit the whole thing w/ sea salt, stirred it all together, added a bit of cider vinegar, soymilk and chili powder, and cooked another five minutes.
Just before I'd heated the pan, I started the rice-cooker going, so once it was done I scooped it over rice on a pretty plate and manged joyously.
