Here's my fussy eater-vegetable lover-meat hater daughter's favorite. It's also a quick fix for a hurried dinner after a long day at the library... pffffff.... story of my life... Anyway, the vegetables choice in this recipe can be easily substitute with any other you have in the fridge.
Ingredients:
A handful of Mangetout - can be replaced with string beans, fine beans, snake beans etc
A handful of Baby Corn - can be replaced with whole kernel corns or carrots or anything you have
A handful of small prawn - You can use chicken, beef, egg or tofu
1/4 of large Onion - sliced
2 garlic - finely chopped
2 cm ginger - bruised
Salt
White Pepper
1 tbsp fish sauce - you can omit this if you don't have any
1 tbsp light soy sauce - you can omit this if you don't have any
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil - you can omit this if you don't have any
2 tbsp oil
Sliced chili if you want to make it spicy. we don't eat spicy food so this is omitted
Direction:
- Clean and sliced the vegetables and meat to your liking - cubed, sliced etc
- Heat the oil in a wok (or pan or what ever you are using), sautee the onion, garlic and ginger until fragrant.
- Bring in the small prawn (or other meat you are using) and sautee them until they change color.
- Add the sauces that you are using - fish sauce, light soy sauce. sesame oil - if you don't use any sauces, skip this step
- Bring the vegetables in and stir until they changed color.
- Add the salt and pepper and taste to your liking
- Keep stirring until the vegetable soften a bit but not too much. You will like to have a bit of a crunch. Take is out and serve with a steaming rice.
The stir-fry will taste as nice without the sauces. But if you have a chance to get all complete, the toasted sesame oil brings a nutty yummy taste to the stir-fry against the warming ginger. Also the saltiness of the fish sauce together with light soy sauce works very well to add a different depth to the dish. Anyway... enjoy!
