FRIED PEA SPROUTS

This is a homey mixed ingredients with pea sprout dish.  The combination of ingredients is actually according to individual preference.  Just increase the portion of the ingredients you like or use less of others which you like less.  It can be served as a One Dish Meal with rice as it is complete with proteins, carbo and fibre.

I only had this healthy dish with rice for dinner over the weekend.  Love the 5 spice flavoured firm beancurd  [Ng Heong Taufu Kon] of this dish and the crunchy pea sprouts.
