This bowl can be made with any vegetable you love, plus any meat substitute you love! I just listed my favorites that give me the most return (in flavor and protein!) in this easy dinner bowl. The real star of the bowl is the sauce, which is simple, but worth every ingredient. After the sauce is done, you just sauté everything together and dinner is done!
