Stir Fried Vegetables

My apologies for not having replied to your comments (to those of you who dropped in comments) and for not being in touch with anyone.

Yes. I have been disappearing for quite a while :D. Tight schedule at work. My inlaws were here until last month. Couple of months back, I went out with them and accidentally dropped my bag which had Camera and Handycam (both without cover) in it. Both stopped working. I got it working only couple of days back. Which is one of the reason that kept me away from posting recipes.
Though I got lot of recipes from my mother-in-law, I never had a chance to post any of them. Those are Andhra special. I will try to post one by one... By the way this recipe is not hers :)

I managed to find some time today to post my favourite and a quick recipe.
Stir Fried Vegetables - one of the easiest , less time consuming but a very healthy dish. Picking the right vegetables add to the taste. It hardly takes 10 mins (definitely not more than that including cutting vegetables) and it tastes good.

Ingredients:
Broccoli - 1/2 flower
Carrot - 3
Baby button Mushroom - 150 gms
Courgette (Zucchini) - 1 medium size.
Baby corn - 150 gms

Corn flour - 2 Tsps
Vegetable Stock - 1 Cube (I used Knorr)
Vinegar - 1 Tsp
Soy Sauce - 1 Tsp
Red Chilli Sauce - 1 Tsp
Olive oil - 2 Tsps





Method:
  1. Cut all the vegetables into medium sized pieces (as shown above)
  2. Mix corn flour in 1/4 cup of water.
  3. Mix vegetable stock to corn flour paste. Ensure that no lumps are formed.
  4. Add vinegar, soy sauce and 1 tsp of olive oil (you could use any other oil as an alternate). Mix well and keep it aside.
  5. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil (or any other oil) in a pan.
  6. Add the cut vegetables. Fry for 2 mins.
  7. Add 1/4 cup of water and keep it covered for 1 min.
  8. Remove the lid and add the paste prepared in step 4.
  9. Add red chilli paste , fry for 20 seconds and remove from stove.
  10. This goes well with rice and Chapati. Cook rice with little salt.

Note:

You could also add Water chestnut and bamboo shoots which will give a complete Chinese touch. Adjust quantity of vegetables and water according to your taste.

Nutritional Value:

  • Carrot - Vitamin A
  • Baby corn - Rich in Protein
