Mixed Vegetables Stir-fry

Vegetable stir-fry is pretty quick and simple to prepare to make.  If i ever have my family over and suddenly need to come up with more dishes, vegetable stir-fry whatever i have in the fridge is a great addition. It complements well any meat dishes, and great to eat alone with just some white rice, and gain your five a-day to be healthy.



Ingredients:
1 Tbspn Groundnut Oil
2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
1 piece of ginger, finely sliced
1 Broccolli
100g Baby Corn, halves
1 Carrot, stripes
4 Dried Chinese/Shitake Mushroom, infused in hot water for a few mins then cut in stripes#

1Tbspn Sesame Oil
2Tbspn Light Soy Sauce
2Tbspn Oyster sauce (use vegetarian oyster sauce if your vegetarian/vegan)
1/4 cup of water

2Tbspn of cornflour



Method: 

1) Heat the oil in wok, sautee the ginger & garlic for 2-3mins. 
2) Add the water & broccolli, carrots, baby corn and chinese mushroom and stir-fry it for 5-6 mins,
3) Mix the soy and oyster sauce in a small bowl stir in the cornflour to create a smooth paste. Then stir the mixture into the vegetables.
4) Stir-fry for a few more minutes or so, until the liquid has thickened and the vegetables are glazed but still crisp. Serve immediately. 

Tip:
Feel free to add tofu, or vegetarian mock fishcakes, and add more vegetables or change the variety, to make the dish your own. 

Happy Cooking!
