Stir Fry Dou Miao with Shrimps and Garlic

Dou miao has always been a favourite vegetable of mine. It is easy to wash and cook, looks nice and tastes great. I am always amazed by how much restaurants and zhi char places charge for this humble dish which takes under 5 mins to cook.

Shrimps           - 6 pcs - I use frozen ones
Fried shallots   - optional - I buy the pre-made ones from Sheng Siong. Can be found in supermarkets

Cooking oil      - 1 tbsp

1. Heat oil
2. Put in garlic and stir fry fragant
3. Put in shrimps and stir fry till half cook
4. Put in dou miao and continue to stir fry
5. Add light soya sauce and stir fry for another 30 secs.
6. Serve on dish and sprinkle some fried shallots for an extra crunch!

Have not been eating out often now that I am still on medical leave. But the good news for Bubi is that I have been cooking dinner every night for him and washing up after. He just sits around and eats and says a cute "thank you". Tsktsktsk.

So I have been experimenting with recipes I read on the internet and since I have been longing for hae bee hiam for a long time. Here goes!
