Instructions
  1. Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a wok or large skillet, heat the sesame and canola oils over medium high heat. Sauté the carrots and onions for 2 minutes, and then add the garlic, ginger and peppers and sauté for another 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and asparagus and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the asparagus is just beginning to get tender.
  3. Add sauce, toss well with the vegetables and heat through.
  4. Serve warm over steamed rice.
Recipe Notes

Create an Asian inspired meal by adding an exotic rice like Jasmine or Japonica, with green tea and ginger cookies or mango sorbet for dessert. The stir-fried vegetables make a great side dish for fish or ginger and tamari-marinated chicken, pork or tofu.
