Peel carrots, parsnips & broccoli stalks, then halve vegetables lengthwise. Roll-cut the vegetables & then steam with the cauliflower florets until tender-crisp. In a large skillet, cook remaining ingredients, except the salt, pepper & sesame seeds, over moderately high heat until thick & syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add vegetables, season & gently toss to mix. Serve hot or ot room temperature sprinkled with sesame seeds. Yamuna Devi, "Yamuna's Table"
