EZCR#39 - STIR FRY PICKLED MUSTARD WITH FRENCH BEANS

Can you imagine how these two vegetables [kiam chye and French beans] blend in a stir fried dish? It is surprisingly good that I have cooked it several times to convince myself that this dish is good before I share it here. 

It is perfect to go with rice or porridge. Do give this a try especially when you have little bits of these ingredients left in your fridge and didn’t know how to get rid of them. You will love it if you like to have some simple yet tasty Chinese food. 

Simple dishes like this is worth giving it a try.  

The vegetables are cooked until just crunchy and tasted sweet, savoury and sourish. Cooked with the lightly marinated minced meat, not much seasoning is needed.
