Hi everyone! I apologize to those who have been asking me to post new recipes here...been busy lately. But that doesn't mean I stopped cooking! I have a long list of photos and recipes I have tried in the past couple of months, and I can't wait to share them with you. Well, let's start with this simple Sauteed Mixed Vegetables that I often make whenever I find fresh ingredients from the farmers market on weekends.Quick and easy.
I just saute all the veggies together, then I add flavorings - depending on what's available in my kitchen, such as oyster sauce, or "bagoong"(shrimp paste), or "patis" (fish sauce, or Hoisin sauce, or garlic-chili sauce and the like. I sometimes add fresh shrimps (but you may add dried ones too!), or sometimes chicken or pork cubes. Isn't fun to pick your favorite veggies, and have all of it in one dish? Make sure you have variety of colors in your dish to make it look yummier, esp for kids.
