Vegetarian Stir Fry - Dinner with Jess

Dinner with Jess: Vegetarian Stir Fry, Cumin Steamed Rice, Salad with my homemade Ginger Dressing. 

Last night I made Jess dinner. Since I am going out of town, I wanted to use up all of my produce. I figured I could put a lot of different vegetables together to make a stir fry. I steamed white rice and added whole garlic cloves and cumin to the pot while it cooked, to really give the rice flavor. And I used the ginger dressing (that I made a couple nights ago) for the salad.

Its a really simple recipe, but the entire meal took me under 30 minutes to cook. Its really simple, fun to make, and easily pleases a crowd.
