Soya Granules Stir Fry - Step by Step Recipe

Until a few years ago I never liked soya chunks or granules; I used to find the strong smell of soya quite repulsive, till I tried out the cutlets. Deep frying eliminated the soya smell and those cutlets were delicious.

Today I wanted to give all that frying a miss and try something simple, but was not sure if I could make it taste good. Hubby too in not very fond of these granules; I knew I had a big challenge with soya; I had to make a tasty and non-soya smell dish.

A quick look into the fridge, the fresh veggies caught my attention I had also picked up some sauces for my indo-chinese dishes at home, I instantly knew then what I was going to make!!
