I cook these deliciously healthy vegetables whenever I cook an Asian dish such as Chinese Chicken or Spicy Plum Chicken. The mild flavours of the sauce won’t overpower the rest of the meal. These green veggies are even terrific served alongside a steak or other BBQ’d meats to lift an otherwise plain meal. Add some steamed rice to mop up all those wonderful juices.
