Yellow everyone, how have you been? Hopefully you’ve had a great week. This week has been good, I have an event coming up hence I have to coordinate almost daily with my team and also been chasing for speeches and other materials to share to my team. They are awesome, I am so grateful that my friend (who’s my team too) has been doing fantastic jobs. She’s my uni friend, as long as I remember she’s always been amazing, professional in delivering her tasks that every client we have worked with always have nice things to say. Thus, I trust her judgement if we need new EN >< IN interpreter team.
A single achievement for my meal.
So, today is another day I am writing about my home garden. I have plenty of plants to care of in between my schedule which is very refreshing and therapeutic at the same time. It helps me to unload unnecessary thoughts that often occupy my mind. This is the case for many introverts; I could spend hours thinking of something I said days ago. I am fully aware about it but I haven’t been successfully managed it; it does get better though.
Freshly picked from the garden
There are established chili peppers, alliums, aubergines, and new seedlings to prepare into their new containers as well as hydroponic pots that I’ve began to love. Hydroponics is very convenient for those who want to garden but has very little space to spare; in my case, our family house has plenty of space however I can’t use every corner since we also need to space for family gathering every now and then. Therefore, container planting and hydroponics do me wonder!
Stir fry egg and aubergine
As an amateur gardener, every little harvest is another achievement for me. Every gram of chili peppers has bring me smile and up lift my spirit, so does every single piece of aubergine from the garden is something I am very proud of. I even cooked and ate it deliciously. HAHAHA… Today I harvested an aubergine, scallions and leeks with a few chili peppers for my after workout meal (yep, I do yoga on a daily basis). What did I have today? A very simple dish, stir fry egg aubergine with chili peppers and scallions in oyster sauce. This is a perfect companion for a bowl of hot steamed rice after a full body yoga workout.
Simple ingredients and very quick to whip up. I just need to slice fresh ingredients like garlic, shallots, chili peppers, aubergine, scallions. Heat the pan on low-medium heat, add a dash of oil to fry the garlic, shallots and chili peppers, then break an egg scramble it in the pan before adding sliced aubergine. Once they’re slightly wilted, add salt and pour a bit of water; let it cook. Then oyster sauce goes into the pan, adjust the taste (For me, it’s just perfect). Turn off the heat and serve!!
On some other days, I’d cook more complex dishes, it really depends on the time and my mood on that particular time. In my book, everything stir fry is less labour extensive hence I often opt for it. In a good day, I’d spend my hours to prepare my homemade dumplings that I can easily freezy and have it anytime, any day. I just love homecook meals as it allows me to eat as much. HAHAHA…
What do you think? Would you like to try? Do you have your favourite recipe with aubergine?
