Stir-fried vegetables (sayur tumis)
- Use any kind of vegetable, or a mixture of different vegetables in this stir-fry. Try coarsely shredded cabbage, watercress broken into bite-sized lengths, chokos that have first been peeled and sliced, green beans, bean sprouts, sliced celery, or any of your other favourites that are in season.
- The vegetables should be washed and well drained.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic, onion, daun salam leaves and shrimp paste and stir-fry until the onion is soft; crush the shrimp paste with the back of a spoon. Add the vegetables and stir-fry until lightly cooked, but still crisp.
- Add the salt and soy sauce, to taste and serve immediately.
- Note
- • Daun salam leaves are also known as Indonesian bay leaves and are available from Asian supermarkets.
