A simple vegetable dish that can be a side dish to some main meals. I flavoured it with bacon bits but of course, you can just use vegetable oil and seasonings (light soy sauce).
1 bowl beansprouts, clean
1 bowl chives, clean, and chop into 1 and half-inch pieces
1 carrot, skinned, sliced length-wise, and julienned the same size as beansprouts
4 shitake mushroom, sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped or crushed
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
1 rash of bacon, sliced thinly into bacon bits
Heat a skillet and add one tablespoon of oil and the bacon bits. Stir about in the pan for 15 seconds and then add the garlic and saute for 20 seconds until just turning a little brown. Then add the carrots and shitake mushrooms, salt and just a little water (about 4 tablespoons of water) to cook the carrots before adding the chives. This is because the carrots will need a longer time to soften than the other vegetables. After about 2 minutes, add the beansprouts and the light soy sauce. Toss about for about 30 seconds and then take off the heat. The residual heat will fully cook the vegetables.
