Stir fry, avocado, and a side of jicama

Dash a little course salt on this, and you will die ... Not from the sodium...but from some amazing flavored and textures.

Start with a stir fry of thickly chopped onion, sesame seeds, and 3 to 4 types finely chopped veggies. I add each veggie type one at a time with 2 to 3 minutes in between and then remove from heat 2 minutes after the last one is added. This helps add texture to the dish. And there are some veggies I like better raw vs cooked and visa verse. Just before serving turn the heat back to high and add 1 to 2 eggs. Stir until the eggs are cooked. Removed from heat and add slivered almonds, bean sprouts or both to the top. Serve next to a pile of chopped jicama topped with chopped avocado. Don't forget the very light sprinkle of salt. You can add an oil to the toppings as well if you are tryin to get more fats in your diet. The mixtures of hot, cold, raw and cooked adds a lot of personality to garden eating. I was so happy to have my friend Megan over yesterday to eat this with me. I had made it for dinner a few days before, but eating with a friend who loved it as much as I did was a great addition. (Megan left out the egg because she is nursing an angel with allergies. She loved it just the same, and when she had to leave early she took her leftovers in a doggy bag! :)
