Mixed-Vegetables Stirfry




I still had some fresh bell peppers in my fridge plus other vegetables I bought this week. So, I decided to make a quick and easy stirfry of mixed-veggies.


Ingredients:

1 cup mixed-color paprika/bell pepper, chopped
1 cup sweet baby corn, chopped
2 cups white oyster mushroom, chopped
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1 cup chopped Chinese cabbage
3 shafts leek, oblique cut
2 cloves minced garlic
1/2 cup prawn
1 cup chicken breast, cubed
2 Tbs oyster sauce
3 Tbs salted soya sauce
3 Tbs vegetable oil
2 cups water
1 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
ground pepper(optional)
Sweet Baby Corn, Mixed-Color Paprika, and Leeks


Mushrooms


Puple Cabbage & Chinese Cabbage

Prawns & Chicken Breast
How to:
1. Sauté garlic until it turn brown and fragrant. Stir in prawns and chicken breast. Add soya sauce and oyster sauce. Stir until the prawns and chicken breasts change color.

2. Stir in baby corn, paprika and leek. Stir for a while.

3. Add purple and Chinese cabagge.

4. And finally, add the oyster mushroom. Stir all ingredients well.

5. Add water, sugar, salt and pepper(optional). You may need to adjust the salt according to your taste (remember that the salted soya sauce and the oyster sauce will have rendered some saltiness already, so just add a little amount of salt first and try if it's already enough. Feel free to add more). Continue to cook. Let it boils for a couple of minutes until the veggies are tender. Serve with steamed rice.

New updates from my rooftop garden

My rooftop garden has gotten bigger in size as the 50 something tomato seedlings survived after being repotted and I've added a mango tree, several flowers and a citrus tree, as well as 3 pineapple crowns which I replanted from the scraps and some ginger, turmeric, galanggal, garlic, onion, and bell pepper. 

Btw, I am so happy to see my tomato seedlings are not only surviving but also growing and branching, though they are not growing into the same size. Some are growing quite fast, but some are slow. I also have given 3 seedlings to my brother's employee for adoption and have also promised to give several others to my tuition student. I am happy if they can thrive and bear fruit in the hands of their new owners. 





These 3 seedlings are bell-peppers from the seed I dried myself. Btw, I'm a little perpelexed to see these orange bell-peppers turned out to be different in forms. Maybe it has accidentally mixed with other seeds. 

Garlic started to sprout

The Citrus Tree which I bought from the market
This is the watermelon radish I replanted from the scraps.


The Cilantro I replanted from the scraps started to grow but then were deterorating and several plants eventually died of rotting roots. Probably the cause was soggy soil because it's been raining a lot lately. I should have planted them indoor though...










I planted some ginger heads from the scraps and the young shoot of this one has grown.









Can anyone of you recognize this seedling? Is it really an orange bell pepper?
