I just made a vegan version of this for breakfast.

Crunchy Vegetable Stir-Fry

Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 1 1/2 tbs sunflower oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 spring onions, cut into 3cm lengths
  • 2 bunches broccolini, stems trimmed, halved lengthways
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed, halved
  • 200g snow peas, trimmed
  • 4 small zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) oyster sauce (I used a vegetarian version)
  • 1/3 cup roughly chopped coriander
  • 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced
  • Lime wedges, to serve

 Method

  • Heat the oil in a wok over high heat.  Stir-fry the garlic and spring onion for 30 seconds.  Add the broccolini, asparagus, snow peas and zucchini, then stir-fry for 1 minute.  Add 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables are bright green and almost tender.  Add the oyster sauce, chopped coriander and sliced chilli, then stir-fry for a further 30 seconds or until heated through.  Serve immediately, with lime wedges to squeeze.

Height: 161cm (5”3)

BANNED FOODS

  • All meats, dairy & other animal products
  • All breads & bakery goods
  • All pasta & rice
  • High starch vegetables (potatoes, beets etc)
  • High carb vegetables (carrots, corn etc)
  • Foods with notable sugar content

  • Bean mixes (navy beans, kidney beans etc)
  • Lentils

EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE

  • Alcohol.  As I am young I may consume as much of this wretched liquid as I like, and before/after drinking I will allow myself one meal involving either potato or bread in order to soak up the toxins.  However this must not occur more than twice a week … or perhaps three times.

EXERCISE

  • Aside from my usual 2km walk each day and the occassional Kinect Adventures game, I will not at this stage bother to exercise any more than usual.
