Ingredients:
- ½ tbsp olive or sesame oil
- ½ cup onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves or 1 tsp garlic minced
- 3 scallions, whites and greens separated
- 3 cups of grated or finally chopped raw cauliflower
- ½ cup of snow or snap peas
- ½ cup of carrot thinly sliced
- ¼ cup of broccoli
- ½ cup of bean sprouts

- ½ cup of water chestnuts
- 2 eggs or 4 egg whites scrambled
- 3 Tbsp of low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cups of tofu, or skinless chicken breasts cubed
- Extra oil, soy sauce and garlic for marinade.
Method:
- In a bowl, marinate the protein in some soy sauce, garlic and oil
- In a large saucepan/wok, saute the garlic, white portion of scallions and onions in oil on medium heat until the onions are soft and transparent (about 3 mins).
- Add carrots, broccoli, cabbage and then when carrots begin to soften add peas, bean sprouts and water chestnuts.
- Stir in scrambled eggs, cauliflower and soy sauce. Cook stirring frequently for 5-7 more minutes.
- Cook the chicken in a small frying pan in a little extra oil. If using tofu you can miss this step.
