1 c. thin strips of unpeeled raw potato (optional)

3 Tbsp. teriyaki marinade
4 c. shredded cabbage* or lettuce, one small head
2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds**
In large skillet or wok, heat oil; add carrots, broccoli, potatoes and celery. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring quickly until vegetables are crisp-tender, about six to eight minutes. Stir in marinade. Cover, reduce heat and let steam three minutes. Add lettuce and sesame seeds. Stir one minute longer.

*Cabbage takes longer to cook and could be added at the same time as the marinade. Variations: Combinations of vegetables can be altered to fit what is available or to individual tastes. For example, use green beans or cauliflower in place of broccoli; green peppers in place of celery.
**To toast seeds, place in a shallow baking pan and place in a 350-degree oven until they start to turn a golden color (about 15 minutes). Stir frequently.
