Rich in cruciferous vegetables, this stir-fry offers significant cancer protection. Not only do the phytochemicals sulforaphane and indoles suppress tumor growth, they also inhibit cancer cell metastasis. Turn this simple dish in to a full-sized meal by adding diced, medium-firm tofu and serving with brown basmati rice. Serves 4 to 6.
