Squash Vegetable Stir-fry with Dried Shrimp Sambal

Vegetables and Salad
Written By

According to my Dietitian friend, vegetables have several health benefits. Not only do they have a good amount of vitamins and minerals, more importantly, they have hard and soluble fiber which is great for keeping our digestive system happy. So I decided to make a meal out of vegetables from the squash family and combine it with sambal and dried shrimp. For the vegetarian, just leave out the dried shrimp.The squash vegetables were crunchy (when not overcooked) and the sambal added flavour to the otherwise rather bland vegetables.
