Veg drawer leftovers: perfect, healthy, budget-friendly dish...and delicious, too...

| Wonderful colour contrast plus crunchy & toothsome textures 'this was great; perfectly sized veg, easily digested by kids & oldies' |
67goingon50 always manages to have at least one carrot and part of a bell pepper in the veg drawer at the end of the week.
They're usually still in good condition and combining them with some of the newly bought veg in a bright and breezy stir-fry is a no-brainer.
What defeats most non-Asian cooks about stir-fries is getting the timing right. Hard vegetables like carrots & cauliflower need the most cooking, things like courgettes come next and finally, quick cooking veg like green beans & tenderstem broccoli need the least amount of cooking.
It also helps if all the veg are in similar sizes before cooking.
