This recipe could employ other vegetables to your personal taste. These were merely the ones I had on hand. the key to the tast is tyhe Oriental spice blend; the one I used contains star anise, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, and black pepper. Keep the sodium low by using reduced sodium soy sauce. This recipe could employ other vegetables to your personal taste.
