Best Mixed Vegetable With Chicken Liver
Ingredients :
Cauliflower
Chinese Celery
Chicken liver (Optional) could replace with pork or chicken meat

Ginger, onion and garlic cut into small pieces. Chicken liver clean with salt and then cut into slice.
Stir-fry all the ginger, onion and garlic.

Fried Four Angled Bean
Sometimes, when I want to make the cooking time as short as possible, then I will boil the four-angled bean before stir-fry. So that I do not have to spend more time to stir-fry until it cooked.
Ingredients :
Four Angled Bean (Winged bean)
Oyster Sauce
Garlic
Salt
Slant cut four angled bean into 1 inch length.
Heat oil and stir0fried chop well garlic until fragrant.
Add in four angled bean to continue stir fried for 5 minutes (if never boiled before).
Add in oyster sauce and a bit of salt to stir fry for one or two minutes.
Serve.
p/s : If you boiled the four angled bean before stir fry, you could straight away add in oyster sauce right after added four angled bean.
