Biggs has expressed the desire to eat more vegetables and it occurred to me that the easiest way to do that is to throw a whole bunch of them into a stir-fry.
I fried some garlic then added balanced broccolini and carrot, mushrooms, red capsicum, spring onions and zucchini then fried them to tender. Though I'm sure vegetables have amazing flavour I thought I should kick it up a bit with some oyster sauce and ketjap manis along with some cornflour slurry to thicken the sauces. I also added a healthy dose of sesame oil.
Nothing goes better with vegetables than a decent amount of animal protein. I bought a huge chunk of pork butt for a recipe later in the week but figured I should utilise the surplus as soon as possible. I sliced off a few pieces, simply seasoned them with salt and white pepper then grilled the shit out of them. I may have taken the pork a bit past the point of crispy delicious to leathery delicious. That, and the fact I may have over used the oyster sauce, were the only two major drawbacks to this meal.
If you're going to have vegetables be sure to make them salty vegetables. They were good! I just hope some of the nutrients leeched into my body somehow. The pork jerky was most excellent.
