Got medium size zucchini from my sister’s neighbour. My other sister gave me a can of baby corn. I have some carrots and spring onions that won’t last for another 2 days. Best use it rather than throwing out. Having my parents and sisters with family over for dinner, I thought of my two brothers in laws who might not like to eat bean shoots would have no vegetables to go with roast chicken and rice.

Google: “Mixed vegetables refer to ready to use combination of cut vegetables. The vegetables may be chopped, sliced, cubed or in juliennes. The typical vegetables included in mixed vegetable are cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, French beans and peas.”

My mixed vegetables are now complete and colourful. Its simple mixed vegetables cooked in garlic and in some vegetables stock. Glad that I make a big batch of this vegetable dish and managed to get the picture before they are all gone. It tastes delicious with roast chicken, bean shoots and rice. Let’s cook!!!
