SOME SMART COOKING TIPS
When you buy the ingredients for this recipe you must be careful and look for vegetables that are firm and bright in color. Try to avoid those that are wilted or have wrinkled skins, which are signs of age and damage.
Different vegetables have different cooking times, so we suggest you to cook different types separately and then combine them altogether.
