Vegetarian Delight

I found this recipe on the weightwatchers boards. Who doesn't love a bowl full of veggies and rice?!

Vegetarian Delight (4 servings at 5 points a piece)

Ingredients:

2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1-1/2 tsp honey
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrot
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup chopped cauliflower
1/2 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 oz cashews
2 cups cooked brown rice

Instructions:

Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and one tablespoon of water. In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add carrots and onion and cook until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except rice and cashews. Cook, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Add peanut butter mixture; cook stirring constantly until just boiling, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice until heated through, about 2 minutes. Top with cashews.

When I made this dish, I omitted the corn and cashews, and I added bean sprouts. Before making it, the husband and I both thought the dish sounded interesting, but were worried that the sauce wouldn't be flavorful enough. Turns out our worrying was unwarranted. The sauce had just the right amount of flavor, and it complimented the rice and vegetables well.
