I ♥ eating

I love to eat. And I love to feed people. But when I'm on my own, I am too lazy to cook. But last night the insatiable need for vegetables descended upon me. 15 minutes and I had a steaming, tasty plateful.

1. Carbs
Put some Jasmine Rice on to boil

2. Flavour
Heat (wonderful, new, non-stick) wok. Add a drop of oil, a chopped onion, some ginger (garlic would have been good, but I'm also too lazy to shop).

3. Chop
Slice mushrooms (I had one huge white one - more than enough for one person) and drop into wok.

4. More flavour
I was craving that tangy, smoky, sour Eastern heat. So I added a teaspoon of peanut butter, some chopped chillis, a dash of lime juice, and a dash of fish sauce to the wok.

5. Greens
All good meals must have something green on the plate. I added a bunch of baby spinach (my favourtie - why do we eat so much chard here in SA?).

6. Yum yum
By this time the rice was done and I spooned it into the wok with the veggies and sauce for some flavour-melding stirfry goodness.
