The great thing about stir fry is that you can pretty much toss in anything you have on hand. I was craving a mix of veggies that I love to order when I eat at an Asian fusion type of restaurant so I tossed these things together with some socca bread and yum!

You'll want to start with the socca bread first. I had some sprouted chickpea flour that I made handy. Otherwise you can find it at health food stores or online at Amazon. My socca came out a bit thicker than traditional socca, since I made my own flour it was not quite as fine as store bought, but it was really tasty! I like it browned and crispy. The thinner the better! You'll want to mix your water with the flour about a half hour before you start making it to let it absorb a bit. Then mix the rest of the ingredients together but hold 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Heat your skillet (best with an iron skillet if you have one) with 1 tbsp of oil. You'll want your batter pretty thin. When your skillet is hot, pour the batter in spreading it around filling the entire pan like a giant pancake. It's pretty much like cooking a pancake. It will bubble a bit and start to brown. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes till it's toasty brown then very carefully flip it. Toast the other side for another 5-10 minutes. Once it's a bit crispy it's done! Repeat with the rest of the batter. Alternately you can use an iron skillet in the oven, baking it, then turning on the broiler for a few to brown it. You'll get about 3-4 large socca breads out of this recipe.

For the stir fry, start with a tbsp of sesame oil and, when the pan is hot, toss in the garlic and tamari, let that cook until the garlic is soft and starting to brown a bit, add the rest of the veggies and cilantro, and let it cook, stirring frequently till the veggies are tender-crisp. Remove from heat and serve with the socca, top with toasted sesame seeds & veggie seasoning. The stir fry recipe serves one as the main entree.
