Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables

I love the simplicity of this dish. It is light and healthy as well. You can eat this combination anytime. For this complete meal, I have stir fried some fresh vegetables that I got from Cameron Highland the day before. If you go Cameron Highlands, you can get all sorts of fresh vegetables with reasonable price. There are lots of stalls erected along the road from Brinchang to Tanah Rata and you can stop by the road side to choose your own vegetables. But beware of high traffic jam on these spots especially during the school or public holidays. You can get stuck for at least fifteen minutes until the traffic is clear again. Anyway, do enjoy this recipe!

Stir Fry Mixed Vegetables

Crunchy. Tasty. Colourful. This is perhaps one of the best vegetable dishes that you can serve on the plate, for friends and family or for unexpected guests. Serve mixed vegetables anywhere, I will be one of the first to sample the dish. You can mix as many vegetables as you can, but don't forget to add mixture of contrasting colours and texture as well. What attracts your eyes will definitely fill your stomach later on. Colours and smell can stimulate your brain to enjoy the dish more. In this recipe, I have a few favourite vegetables that mix together very well. Do try!
