Very Good 4.0/5

This is a vegetable stir fry for one person. When I make this for my family, I cut up all kinds of fresh veggies and stir fry each person's plate individually. That way each person gets to grab the veggies they like the most and leave off something they don't care for. This also helps the veggies stay crisp cooked. When I do a large family sized stir fry some of the veggies overcook and get soggy. I hate that so now I do it this way.

I usually make 2 stir fry sauces so folks get to choose that too.

The recipe for the Teriyaki Sauce with a red Thai chili sauce in the ingredients is an amount for 1 person's stir fry. I will include amounts for a family at the end of the cooking instructions.

**Dry Tofu is included in this recipe. It is found in most Natural food stores or Chinese Markets. It makes stir fries so much easier because you don't have to marinate or pre-cook it. (It is sometimes called Smoked Tofu. I have used both.)

Chef Meg's Roasted Root Vegetables
Very Good 4.4/5

This recipe sings of the fall and early winter harvest. Take advantage of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have. I like a bite to the vegetables, so I drizzle a small amount of balsamic vinegar over the vegetables while they are still hot.
This side dish is quite affordable: about 60 cents a serving for the vegetables!
