Very simple stir-fry vegetables

Dinner was great! As I wrote in my previous post I did make chicken teriyaki and cooked vegetables as a side dish. I'll get to the teriyaki soon enough, but for now here is my recipe on how to make a very simple, healthy, yet tasty stir-fry vegetable dish that works great on the side or a even a snack!

Stir-fry vegetables

Ingredients:
1/4 round cabbage sliced into strips
1 carrot sliced into thin strips or those thin half circles
sesame oil
vegetable oil
fish sauce (patis)
light soysauce
pinch of salt and pepper
crushed garlic (depends how 'garlicky' you want it to be)
1 red onion sliced

Directions
1. Heat some vegetable oil in your skillet (not too much; you're not going to deep fry anything)
2. When the oil is hot, add in the red onions and garlic. You know the oil's hot enough when the onions and garlic make a soft sizzling sound.
3. Put in your carrots and just mix them together.
4. After about 2 minutes, put in your cabbage. Let it stay on top for a minute or so to absorb the flavors of the onion, garlic, and carrots.
5. Finally, add a pinch of salt and pepper, about 2 tsp. of sesame oil, and 2-3 tsp of fish sauce/patis, and a tsp. of light soy sauce
6. Mix and keep mixing them together, so all that flavor can go around until the vegetables cook. You'll know it's cooked when the cabbage starts to turn transluscent and soft.

Enjoy! :D
