Vietnamese Stir-Fry Veges my style

Stir-fry Veges

This vegetable stir-fry is very easy to make. The ingredients needed mostly are vegetables such as quartered tomatoes, shreded cabbage, half-fry tofu, cut cauliflower, julienne cucumber (making sure that you take scoop out the seeds), julienne baby carrots, chopped onions, chopped garlic, and mixed sprouts.

First, fry the cut tofu until lightly brown. Then saute the onions, garlic, and jalapeno peppers (optional). Add a pinch of salt or Mrs. Dash, and powdered pepper/white pepper. Saute them for about 5 minutes. Then add all the vegetable ingredients, and 1 tsp of soy sauce if needed. Slowly and gradually stir the vegetables until they are cooked. Once cooked, let it set for 5 minutes to cool.

Oh!! You can add 1 tsp of sesame seed oil to have that tangy taste of chinese, but it's not necessary.

Rojak
Rojak


I make rojak for my lunch. It's so easy to make:

1) Rojak sauce
2) Jicama cut into small pieces
3) Pineapple already cut or you can use canned ones
4) Cucumber cut into small pieces
5) Chopped roasted peanuts
6) Extra firm tofu cut into small pieces and fry lightly until brown

All the ingredients set aside. Put some chopped peanuts into another small bowl and pour some hot water. Then scoop about 3 tbsp of rojak sauce and stir to taste. Yummms... this is one spicy rojak, my version that is...

Enjoy!!
