I got this Idea of the internet, and I don't limit myself on the different kinds of veggies I use. If I have them I toss it in like mushrooms, zucchini, squash, etc. I even toss in herbs. I have seen some people use dried seaweed and miso. But really its up to you. Just remember if you use beets its gonna be red.
