Fermented Vegetable Stir-Fry

This fermented vegetable stir-fry is a quick and easy way to add some probiotics to your diet. The fermentation process breaks down the vegetables' starches and sugars, making them easier to digest and absorb. The result is a flavorful and healthy dish that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Fermented vegetables have been a part of the human diet for thousands of years. In fact, some of the earliest evidence of human fermentation dates back to 10,000 BCE.
