Ingredients

1 Cup of sprouts of your choice, I like to sprout my own mostly using mung beans. Mung beans are the best sattvic beans for all doshas.

1 Cup of turnip, sliced and then cut into matchsticks, in large quantities turnip can aggravate Pitta and Vata as its qualities are of a hot and bitter taste. You could use half and half thickly grated carrots to add some sweetness. Turnips are fine for Kapha.

1 Cup of thinly sliced mushrooms of your choice, always make sure you use organic as mushrooms have a property that absorbs the surrounding soil minerals. Always ensure mushrooms are cooked thoroughly. Pitta is most suited to mushrooms and Vata and Kapha can be aggravated. This is a mixed variety of energetics and tastes and the spices added help to pacify the combination.

• 2 Tablespoons of ghee (1 for Kapha)
• 1 Teaspoon of grated ginger
• 2 Tablespoons of good quality soy sauce
• Half a teaspoon of chili flakes
• 1 Tablespoon of cider vinegar 
• 1 Teaspoon of coconut sugar
• 1 Cup of veggie stock, I always use Marigold Bouillion
• 1 Tablespoon of finely sliced and chopped spring onion

Directions

Heat the ghee and fry the ginger and prepared veggies for a few minutes and then add all the spices and sauces and fry for a couple of minutes, add the stock and bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes and check the veg is cooked, but not too soft.

Seve into bowls and sprinkle with the chopped spring onions
