Cheap & Healthy: The College Way

I'm not sure if this helps, but this is a family recipe (modified slightly by my mom) used during Chinese New Year.

Veggies stir fry

1-2 sheets dried fu chuk
5-6 shitake mushrooms
1 large carrot
1/4 cabbage
1 onion, chopped
Soya sauce
pepper
oyster sauce

1. Cut fu chuk into desired size (usually just squares or slices) and soak for about 15 mins.
2. Soak shitake mushrooms in warm water for few hours (or even overnight) till soft. Slice them up (and keep the water!)
3. Chop/slice carrots and cabbage.
4. Warm wok/pan and add 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Throw in carrots (carrots go in first cause they take a longer time to soften), cabbage, mushrooms and fu chuk. Add onions when its almost done.
5. Add in desired amount of soya sauce, oyster sauce and pepper.

This is one of my favourite dish that is a must have when I go home for New Year.

Also, eggs and tofu are 2 versatile food that is good and cheap. Omelettes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes/onions and tofu soup are sides that goes well with rice.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
