Sunflower Sprout Tahini Stir-fry

A stir-fry is a quick and easy way to cook vegetables, and this one is packed with flavor thanks to the addition of sunflower sprouts, tahini, and soy sauce. The sunflower sprouts add a slightly bitter flavor that complements the sweetness of the broccoli and snow peas, while the tahini and soy sauce add a savory richness. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber.

I first had this dish at a restaurant in San Francisco, and I was immediately hooked. The flavors were so complex and delicious, and I couldn't wait to try to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally came up with a recipe that I was happy with, and I've been making it ever since. I've also experimented with different variations, such as adding other vegetables, nuts, and seeds. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to customize it to your own taste.
