I have been attempting to eat healthy these days, thus vegetables are always the top choice when it comes to choosing what to eat. I often stir-fry or butter them and after a while it gets old. This recipe is an interesting addition. It is easy to prepare and it has a lot of flavor too.

 

Serves 6

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic

500g asparagus

2 cucumbers

2 tablespoons peanut oil

100g snow peas

250g broccoli florets

1 medium sized green capsicum, seeded and sliced into strips

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 small red chili, chopped

 

Slice the garlic and chili into thin strips. After, wash the asparagus and quarter them. Next, peel the cucumbers, remove the seeds and then slice them into 1/2 thick pieces.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the garlic and chili for 2 minutes until light brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

In the same wok, stir-fry the broccoli, capsicum and for 5-8 minutes until they are tender. Add the cucumber slices. Cook it for another 2-3 minutes.

Combine the vinegar, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved. Pour mixture into the pan with stir-fried vegetables. Cook it for another 2 minutes. Serve in individual bowls topped with the fried garlic and chili.
