Vegetarian Stir Fry with Homemade Sauce

I have never made anything vegetarian because I have a protein based diet but I recently had The Girls over for an Asian Inspired Family Night. My friend Libby is a vegetarian so I looked up some new recipes to try but every one had some sort of sauce that wasn't vegetarian (fish sauce, etc.). So I went with making an all veggie blow out stir fry with my homemade "Asian" sauce! Luckily, I have made stir fries in the past so I had an idea of what I was doing and everyone enjoyed it!! The best part was that it only was $5 total to make!!! Scale this recipe down if it's a small get-together because I used over a POUND of veggies! Also if you'd like to add meat to this I totally recommended it! It will change the below nutritional info but if you're like me, where you need a high protein meal to keep you feeling full, add some meat!

**We enjoyed our Family Night pot luck style. I made the main dish, Libby made fresh Veggie Spring Rolls with Hoisin Sauce (THESE WERE TO DIE FOR BTW), Alyson made an awesome beverage which I have no idea what was in it (lol) and Mallory made a refreshing Pear Pie with a Frangipani middle, which was so naturally sweet and delicious (it was like a tart in my mind). It was such a great time cooking together and catching up!!!
