Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.

Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
A few ingredients do most of the work in this recipe. The apple cider vinegar adds tang that cuts through richness and balances the flavors. The sugar provides clean sweetness and helps balance acidity. The salt sharpens and balances every other flavor in the dish. The neutral oil keeps the fat neutral so the other ingredients can shine.
