Having my parents and sisters with family over for dinner, I thought of my two brother in laws who might not like to eat bean shoots would have no vegetables to go with roast chicken and rice.

I wasn’t going to add baby corn, but my corn tin seems to be collecting rust best use it as I don’t like wasting food. My mother gave me a bag of carrots and I too bought a bag of carrots. I have added more carrots in.

Bought zucchini, red capsicum and saw cauliflower on sales. My mixed vegetables are now complete and colourful. Its simple mixed vegetables cooked in garlic and in some vegetables stock. Glad that I make this vegetable dish. It taste delicious with roast chicken, bean shoots and rice. Let’s cook!!!

3 zucchini, cut into bite size

2 canned baby corn, wash and drain dry, cut into halves
