Simple Bean Sprout Stir Fry

This is just another simple recipe of stir-frying vegetables. Hubby loves bean sprout so much, and we bought loose beansprout from Marina two days ago. Actually, I should cook the beansprout right away, as two days in the fridge might cause some damage to the fresh and easily rotten beansprout. But thank God, it was just fine. I still have half chayote and lots of tomatoes on the vine. So I use it in this dish. It adds a nice tangy kick to the humble yet nutritious beansprout.

Here are the main ingredients. Simple and healthy.


Chop 'em all but the beansprout.


Heat the pan with oil (olive + sesame), stir fry the minced garlic 'till fragrant, then blend in the chayote, tomato, oyster sauce, fish sauce, honey, salt, pepper and water. Mix 'em evenly.


Once the chayote is softened and the tomato wilted, throw in the beansprout and green onion. Stir for a minute or less over high heat. This way the beansprout will stay nice and crisp.


Transfer to a serving dish nicer than my plain humble bowl ;p Enjoy with a meaty main dish. Or if you're on a diet, just this and plain white rice will do. But I will never do that ;p
