Chinese mixed vegetable schezwan curry

This is a very tasty and easy to prepare side dish. This goes very well with noodles, fried rice and even our Indian flat bread/naan/pulka. The Schezwan sauce is the main taste enhancer in this dish. It is healthier to use varieties of vegetables in one dish. I am sure when  this dish is served with noodles it will be an all time favourite among children. I made this as an accompaniment for corn rice. Here is the recipe.
