may also be made with fresh vegetables cut into small pieces.

 

Cook the vegetables in the 1 cup water until tender, about 8 to 10

minutes. Add the soy sauce and optional seasonings of your choice. Mix

the cornstarch or arrowroot in the 1/4 cup water. Add to vegetable mixture

while stirring. Cook and stir until thickened.

 

NOTE: Some commercial Cajun spice mixes are now available. To make your

own Cajun spice mix, combine 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 teaspoons onion

powder, 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons ground white pepper, 2

teaspoons cayenne, 1 teaspoon ground dried oregano, 1 teaspoon ground dried

thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon celery seed. Mix together and store in a tightly

covered container. Makes about 1/2 cup.
