Steps:

• For the raw vegetables: Peel ½-inch piece of the ginger and slice into thin matchsticks (about 1 teaspoon). In a bowl, add the cabbage, ginger, lime juice, salt, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix to combine and place in a serving bowl.
• For the stir-fry: Peel and mince the remaining piece of ginger to yield about 2 teaspoons. Set aside. Heat skillet on high until hot then add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the vegetables in the order that they will take to cook, starting with the carrots. Stir, then add the cauliflower, stir again, and season with salt. Add the zucchini followed by the remaining vegetables; choy sum, kale, and bok choy. Add a handful of water to steam the vegetables (this will speed up the cooking), and continue stirring. When the vegetables are green and vibrant, add the ginger, garlic and chili pepper flakes. Finish with remaining tablespoon rice vinegar and soy sauce. Stir then place on top of the cabbage mixture. Garnish with freshly torn mint, sliced radish, lime wedges and salt. Serve.

RAINBOW CARROT STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Drain and dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine and stock. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl. In another bowl, dissolve cornstarch or arrowroot in 2 tablespoons stock or water; stir well. Have ingredients within reach of pan.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil by adding it to the sides of the pan or wok and swirling, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining soy sauce; stir-fry until no liquid is visible in pan. Remove tofu to a plate.
• Swirl in remaining oil; add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add carrots and white and light green parts of onions or scallions; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper and sugar; toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Return tofu to wok along with sesame seeds and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir cornstarch or arrowroot slurry and add it to pan along with cilantro and onion greens. Stir until everything is lightly glazed and remove from heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.
