I cook basic meals most nights at home. I usually get home around 6:30 - 7pm and am too tired to think of anything creative. I have a good range of dishes I can whip up quickly without too much effort - such as the good ol' stir fry.
I made this one last week while we were unpacking and spending long hours at work. I try to use a lot of vegetables in my cooking for variety and nutritional value.
Vegetables used:
- spring onion
- red capsicum
- carrots
- broccoli
- snow peas
- baby bok choy
- cabbage
- cauliflower
I do a quick flash stir fry so as not to overcook the veges. I added walnuts towards the end, and cooked Basmarti rice to serve it with.
Cooking the veges that need longer time in the wok - capsicum, broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, spring onion and carrots.
Baby bok choy sliced and ready to go in at the end.
When the veges are almost done, I add in the cabbage and bok choy. I also love bean sprouts but couldn't find any this time.
I add in the nuts and then sauce right at the end. I often make my own sauce, but tonight I used one from the supermarket as I was feeling lazy - a Kan Tong ginger and soy number that is really tasty.
Ready to be served.
Dished up on Basmarti rice.
Nom nom.
ReplyDeleteI love cabbage, but I never buy them because I'm the only one in the household who will eat them :( I love a good stir fry, yours look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rose - that's sad about your cabbage-less cooking life :( Can you disguise it in your cooking? Cut it finer perhaps and say it's something else? :)
