Chef's Note

*Mixed Vietnamese-style vegetables are available frozen or in cans. You can also replace them with fresh ingredients: bean sprouts, black mushrooms, carrots and red peppers. The bright colors of this vegetable medley entice the eye, while the flavors pair perfectly with the sweet notes of the honey and peanut butter.

Prepare the first part of the recipe the night before and let marinate overnight. The dish can be finished very quickly the next day.
