Delicious and simple, you’ll love it! Once the veggies are prepped, this dish comes together in just minutes.  The vegetables turn out nice and bright and very crisp.

It all started with our usual weekend trip to Trader Joe’s.  My husband picked out a bottle of Trader Joe's Sweet Chili Sauce and I started imagining what I’d do with it. We went to Pei Wei about two weeks ago and had some stir fried veggies over sticky rice that were really good, so I decided to try them at home.

It ‘s really quick and easy. You could can also add tofu and roasted cashews or peanuts for protein and vary the vegetables as well: cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, etc; Serve over rice or noodles for light and healthy for dinner.
