Asian Vegetables with Indonesian Tomato Sambal

asian-vegetables.jpg

I'm all about getting a variety of greens in your diet and this dish is a great way to do this by adding some asian vegetables you may not be used to consuming as often as our "standard" greens. The tomato samba is a fragrant sauce that makes it come alive, I was inspired by all the wonderful sambal additions you get with your meals when in Bali. YUM!!
