3. Add in carrot and shiitake slices. Stir fry for a while.
4. Add in 1 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp dark soy sauce and 1 tsp sugar. Stir fry evenly.
5. Pour in enough water covers all ingredient. Cover the pan with lid and use low or medium heat.
6. Before the sauce in pan is almost dry. Put in bell pepper pieces, and turn to high heat.
7. Keep stir frying till sauce is dry.
It’s an ideal match for rice.
If you want it to be spicy, you could add a little dry red chili at first.

Its Chinese name is “地三鲜” (di San xian). Di means ground, earth. San means three. Xian means fresh vegetable. So it’s a dish consists of three vegetables which are eggplant, potato and bell pepper. It’s a typical northeastern Chinese cuisine, and it’s also one of my favorite dishes. First time I tried it because one of my roommates in university is from northeastern China. She recombined it. For a vegetables person like me, I fell in love with this dish immediately.
Ingredients:
Potato ( chopped into evenly small or medium pieces. Small ones are easy to cook, but if you are patient enough, medium ones are also fine. ).
Eggplant ( also chopped into even pieces, can be a little bigger than potato piece).
chopped bell pepper. Chopped garlic, oil, light soy sauce, sugar, starch, water, salt.
1. Heat oil in the pan. Oil should be more than usual. Because eggplant will absorb much oil when frying.
2. Fry potato first. When the potato pieces turn golden brown, they can be taken out.
3. Then fry eggplant pieces till they get brown too. If the oil is dry, a little more oil can be added.
4. Fried potato and eggplant in the plate and put aside.
5. A little oil in the pan. Heat it.
6. Add in the chopped garlic.
7. Then the fried potato and eggplant. Stir fry evenly.
8. Put in the chopped bell pepper. Stir fry a little.
9. Add in light soy sauce, salt and sugar. Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
10. At last add in starchy water. Quick stir fry a little. And it’s done.
Starchy water is often used in Chinese dishes. It will make the dish look brighter in color.
I used to dislike egg tofu, but now I like it. This dish actually includes 3 ways to cook egg tofu. We also call egg tofu Japanese tofu.
First, cut egg tofu into even-sized pieces. Coat them with corn starch, and fry them in oil in hot pan till both side turn golden brown.
After being fried, Egg tofu is crunchy outside but soft inside. It’s a super easy way to cook egg tofu but still yummy.
If you think it’s too easy, and you want to add some vegetables, please move on to the next procedure.
Prepare carrot, shiitake, celery. And cut them into small pieces.
Heat some oil in the pan. First stirfry carrot, then add in shiitake, and celery at last. Also add in some oil sauce with a little water. Keep stir frying. Before the sauce is almost dry, add in fried egg tofu. Quick stir fry all together, and take them out into the plate.
This is yummy stir fry egg tofu with vegetables.
And if you are an egg lover, just like my husband. You are gonna like the following step.
Beat two eggs in a bowl, add in a little salt and mix well. Heat a little oil in the pan. Pour egg in it. Before egg gets solidify, put stir fried egg tofu and vegetables on the egg. Once egg at the bottom gets solidify, take them out.
Put Spinach in boiling water for several seconds. Then take them out and chopped into granules.
Put spinach in a large bowl. Beat in a large egg, half a small bowl of flour, some water, 1 tsp baking soda, some salt and black pepper powder. Mix them well.
Heat a little oil in the pan. Put a spoonful of batter in the pan. When the down side’s edge becomes a little golden, flip it over. And fry the other side for a while.
I like zucchini very much. I also like simply frying them with a pan.
Just spread some oil in the pan. Put zucchini slices in the pan. When the downside turn a little golden brown, flip them over and fry the other side. Spread some salt and black pepper. When both side are done, take them out in the plate.
You can stir fry zucchini with sausage slices, which also tastes good.
Potatoes peeled off and steamed or boiled.
Mash them in a large bowl. Then add in some vegetables bits. ( I used carrot, sweet peas and corn. Boiled already). Mix them well. Add in a little salt and black pepper powder.
If you also fry steak as I did. Don’t throw away the butter left in the pan.
Heat the butter again. Put in onion and carrot slices. Keep stir frying till carrots get a little burnt. Then add in water covers all ingredients in the pan. Cook for around 5 minutes. Then take all the carrot and onion out. Just leave sauce in the pan. Add some flour and oil in a bowl, mix them well. Then add the batter into the pan. Keep stirring till the sauce gets condensed. If you think it’s a bit plain, you can add a little salt. Then pour the sauce onto mashed potato in the plate.
I think anybody who has been to Cantonese restaurants is familiar with this dish. And it’s very easy.
1. Put clean gai lan in boiling water for 3 mins. Adding a little salt in the boiling water will make gai lan looks greener and brighter. After 3 mins, take gai lan out an drain. Then put them in the plate.
2. Heat a little oil in the pan. Put in a little garlic & Ginger granules. Stir fry a little. Then add in 1 tsp oyster sauce, 2 tsp light soy sauce, 2 tsp water, a little salt and a little starchy water. When the sauce becomes a little condensed, pour it over the gai lan in the plate.
