From the garden to a stirfry

Step 1- Harvest some freshly grown vegetables from your raised garden bed.


Step 2- Admire your freshly grown produde
  • Butternut pumpkin (still a little green)
  • Shallot ready for eating
  • Snow peas- they taste so good off the vine
  • Fairy tale eggoplants- at 4-5 inches long and one inch wide they are not too bad
  • Cucumber- Unlikely to make it into the stir fry but a good 8 inches long and two inches wide with nodules running along the sides.
  • Purple climbing beans- these are great. You go from having none to 100 in a day
  • Roma tomatoes
  • Golden Jamaican chillies. Delicious and good looking

Step 3- The ones with yellow stripes eat mold. These red ones are returned to the circle of life.

Step 4- In a very hot wok
  • Roughly chop and fry onion in olive oil until translucent (remove from wok)
  • Cut up 500g of chicken and fry in two batches until the pink is gone
  • Return chicken & onion & chicken to the wok and add in veges
    • Carrots
    • Snow Peas
    • Fairy tale egg plant
    • Purple climbing beans
    • soy sauce
    • oyster sauce
    • garlic
    • ginger




















Step 5- Garnissh with peanuts & basil leaves and a good dollop of home made chilli sauce. Add beer to taste.

  1. And THAT as they say, is how it's done. Looks fantastic Kim - both the vegie patch and the stirfry. Looking forward to trying that chilli sauce at some stage!
