SIMPLY LIVING – One step at a time

Posting this basic basic stir fry in case anyone wants it. Especially for my daughter when she graduates into eating other types of vegetables and mushrooms, which are a favourite of mine.

Ingredients:  serves 3-4

1 head broccoli

1 head cauliflower (optional)

1 carrot

5-6 fresh shitake mushrooms (dried shitake or other types of mushrooms work as well)

1 onion (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

1/2 teaspoon salt

Method:

• Cut the broccoli & cauliflower (if using) into florets.
• Remove the skin on the carrot (for easier chewing & texture). Slice at a diagonal of about 2-3mm thickness, for quicker cooking.
• Slice the mushrooms. If you are using dried mushrooms, remember to soak them to rehydrate before slicing.
• Slice the onion after removing the outer layers.
• To stir fry – heat some oil, add the onions & garlic. Once the onions are translucent, add the rest of the vegetables NOT the mushroom.
• Allow the vegetables to cook especially the carrots, as it needs a slightly longer cooking time. Test if cook by poking a fork into the carrot slice or leave it as carrots can be eaten raw, just a matter of personal preference on texture & crunch.
• Add the mushrooms & both salts.
• Stir it around to mix, allow the mushrooms to cook.
• Remove from heat & serve.
