Author Notes: This recipe is a modified version of a recipe I was given for something easy, cheap, and vegetarian that I could make in my dorm kitchen. It’s really great served with rice, you can throw in any vegetables sitting around the kitchen, and it certainly doesn’t break my student budget! —Jocief
