Chinese vegetables in Mon-pao sauce

My husband cooked tonight, because there was a yummy pineapple that needed to be cut up and used today. He cut it, and decided to make something Chinese. This's what he told me his recipe was:

Sauce:
Some sesame oil
Add a few dried red chillies to the hot oil
Tons of garlic (to taste!)
Tons of ginger
Tons of tamarind paste
2 table spoons soy sauce
Taste and add salt if necessary (the soy sauce might have salt in it)
Saute for a while until the sauce looks good and ready.

Add (whatever we had in the frig that would pass for CHinese) - cabbage, zuchchini, peas, edamame. And the pineapple (which was the original inspiration for this).

Enjoy with brown rice.

We also had some leftover black eyed peas, grated carrots and fat free plain yoghurt.

Arnav enjoyed it so much he didn't ask for yoghurt to be mixed in with his food today. I named it Mon-pao sauce ;).
