For Mash

For Crispy Veggies
While steaming sweet potatoes. Prepare veggies.
Peel, trim and thinly sliced onion. Peel and trim carrot, sliced diagonally. Trim brussels sprouts and halved. Trim asparagus rough stem and sliced diagonally. Remove stem of mushrooms, roughly break them up into bite size.
Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium high. Add ginger, onion, brussels sprouts and carrot with a pinch of salt, sauté for 5-7 minutes, stir occasionally so that the veggies are slightly brown on edges. Add mushroom and asparagus, keep stirring and season once again with salt.
Push the veggies to the side of the pan and free up some space to fry the vegan bites. Add oil and add vegan bites, fry until crispy and brown, about 3-5 minutes. Use a spatula to break up bites into 2-3 small pieces and stir together with the rest of the veg. Reduce heat to medium or medium low if veg get brown too quickly, let veggies and bites continue to cook until tender and edges are crispy and brown. Turn heat off while you start plating.
