This colourful dish isn't just nice to look at, it's totally easy! I used grape tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes in the picture. I don't think there's a difference except that the grape tomatoes are smaller and cute. Next time I'd use more ginger, but you can vary the amount of each vegetable. I used mint leaves, but cilantro would also be nice (I didn't have any so I grabbed some mint leaves from the yard).
