STIR-FRIED CORN, SQUASH, AND TOMATOES WITH GINGER, GARLIC AND CILANTRO
Coconut oil gives this dish fragrance without heaviness. With a big bunch of Thai basil in hand, I wanted a sweet stir-fry with Thai flavors. I stir-fried the vegetables in coconut oil, and I loved the results. The medley has that coconut fragrance without the heaviness it would have with coconut milk. I served the vegetables with black rice, which was beautiful, but any other rice, noodles or grains like quinoa would work. Make sure that your corn is sweet and your tomatoes are juicy. You can also use the lower-priced tomatoes "for sauce" that may be at your farmers' market.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables. Summer squash and tomatoes are at their peak in the summer, so they'll be the most flavorful and affordable.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables to the pan at once, they won't cook evenly and will become soggy.
- Cook the vegetables over high heat. This will help them retain their color and flavor.
- Add the sauce last. This will prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it will be the most flavorful.
