Sides for Stir Fry
![HRinNH](http://blr-hrforums.elasticbeanstalk.com/plugins/DefaultAvatars/design/GreenAvatar.jpg)
We've been invited to lunch tomorrow and the host is serving a stir-fry with tofu or other vegetarian meat alternative.
I've offered to bring something to compliment the meal (side dish) but I'm at a loss as to what to bring.
Any ideas?

2 Tbs. sugar
3/4 tsp. Asian sesame oil
1 Tbs. fish sauce
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
freshly ground pepper
1 large head napa cabbage
4 carrots, grated
1 bunch onions cut into 1/2 pieces (edit - this is supposed to be GREEN onions; sorry!)

Cook vinegar and sugar in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved (about 2 minutes). Add sesame oil, fish sauce, and veg. oil. Add pepper and set aside to cool.
Cutting about 2 inches from base of cabbage, separate leaves from the head and cut in half lengthwise. Slice leaves thinly and place in large bowl. Add carrots, green onion, cilantro, and peanuts. Toss with cooled dressing and let stand 20 min. before serving. Serves 8.

Now, I'll take a Margarita and a lounge chair on the beach and unwind. x;-)

I'll gamble on the healthy and you should too if you plan to be 38 forever x;-)
