    filling for Asian style vegetable wraps
  • NOTE: Make sure you don't overcook the vegetables. They should still be a bit crispy, and not mushy, after cooking. The cooking times given in this recipe are just guidelines.
  • Remove the wok from the heat and serve immediately.
  • Use rice paper wrappers (i.e. spring roll wrappers), flour tortillas or pita pockets to make vegetable wraps.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
