*Notes

This colorful blend of vegetables gets traditional Asian flavor from sesame oil and soy sauce. Toss in a can of baby corn and water chestnuts for added texture and flavor (the addition of 1 cup of each changes the recipe to a POINTS value of 2 per serving). To make this recipe Core®, substitute Canola or olive oil for sesame oil.
