Tonight's Dinner - Hot & Sour Vegetables

[Guest guest]

This was an adaptation of a recipe I found in an old

Bon Appetit Magazine. I omitted zucchini (we already

had some this week) and used red onion instead of

white onion.

 

I also used a fresh chile instead of dried. If you

want this hotter, add 3 dried red chiles instead of

the fresh chile I used.
