Stir Fried Vegetables with "Prawns"



This is my chef's version* of stir fried vegetables with vegetarian prawns. It's another vegetarian dish which you maybe interested to try also.

Ingredients:
1. Broccoli
2. Cauliflower
3. Carrots
4. Yellow Capsicum
5. Vegetarian Prawns (from Friendly Vegetarian)
6. Cooking Oil
7. Salt
8. Vegetarian Oyster Sauce
9. Cornflour, mixed with Water


Directions:
1. Wash and cut the vegetables (1-4). Rinse the vegetarian prawns.
2. Heat the cooking oil in a wok.
3. Add in a pinch of salt and then the vegetables (1-4). Stir fry the vegetables for ~2 minutes.
4. Add in the cornflour solution and then cover the wok with a lid. Cook over medium flame for ~2 minutes.
5. Add in the vegetarian oyster sauce and the vegetarian prawns.
6. Cook for another ~1-2 minutes and then serve.


*My "rainbow" version of stir fried vegetables uses these ingredients which give the dish a more colourful look:
(1) Broccoli [green]
(2) Cauliflower [white]
(3) Carrots [orange]
(4) Red capsicum [red]
(5) Yellow Capsicum [yellow]
(6) Snow Peas &/or Sugar Peas [green]
(7) Crab Stick &/or Prawns [red]
(8) Shiitake Mushrooms [brown/black]
(9) Egg Toufu [yellow]


If your kids don't like or are picky about eating vegetables, maybe you can try cooking this dish with these colourful ingredients. Hope it helps to appetize them and gives them a more wholesome meal. :)
