Steps:
- Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
- In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
- Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and vibrant vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the final dish. Look for asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower that are firm, brightly colored, and free from blemishes.
- Trim and prepare the vegetables properly: Trim the asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. For asparagus, remove the tough ends. For broccoli, cut the florets into even-sized pieces. For cauliflower, cut the florets into small florets.
- Blanch the vegetables: Blanching the vegetables briefly in boiling water helps to preserve their color, texture, and nutrients. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are just tender. Immediately transfer the vegetables to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the vegetables from sticking and will also impart a delicious flavor to the dish. To season a wok, heat it over high heat until it is smoking. Add a few tablespoons of oil and swirl it around the wok to coat the surface. Let the wok cool completely before using.
- Cook the vegetables over high heat: High heat is essential for stir-frying vegetables. This will help to quickly cook the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to prevent it from burning. Stir the sauce into the vegetables until they are evenly coated.

Oriental-style vegetables are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
