Vegetables with cashew nuts

Hi there...I created a new dish 2 days ago...it's stir fried leafy vegetable surrounded by brocolli, cauliflower and cashew nuts.
This dish was created because of :

1) The leafy vegetable he has in the fridge had almost rotten and the ones I got...only consists of less than...10 leaves..?
2) The brocolli and cauliflowers he has in the fridge was too little to be cooked as a single dish...
3) I didn't want to mix the leafy vegetables together with brocolli, cauliflower etc as it will look like "economy mixed vege"... sure enough I want the best for my darling ♥

So...I created a dish that combines 2 dishes in one for those who encounters problem of too little vegetable to be cooked as 1 dish. Ta-da...

Vegetables with cashew nuts


Ingredients
For the Outer Ring
A few florets of brocolli
A few florets of cauliflower
Cashew Nuts (fried)
Carrots (diced)
Yelow onion (cut into rings)
Shallots (sliced)
Salt, sugar, pepper

For the Inner Part
Leafy vegetables (the one in pic is called choi tam in chinese)
Garlic (sliced)
Some cooking wine
Some cornflour
Salt and pepper

Instructions
1. Fry yellow onion, carrots and shallots in some olive oil until fragrant.

2. Add in cashew nuts, cauliflower and brocolli and stir fry.
3. Put a bowl (upside down) in the middle of a plate.
    (this will be the space you need to reserve for the leafy vegetables later)
4. Arrange the fried vegetables around the bowl.
5. Now, fry some garlic till fragrant.
6. Add in the leafy vegetables, a pinch of salt and sugar.
7. Put in a dash of cooking wine for a more appetizing fragrant.
8. Just before it is fully cooked, stir some cornflour in a little water and add in.
9. Lift up the bowl in the plate and serve this vegetable in the middle of the plate.

There you go!
Don't have to waste leftover vegetables in the fridge again!
I think it's also a suitable way to make your kids to eat vegetables...If vegetables are served in this colourful dish, I believe any kids (or young at heart) will love'em!

psstt!! again, i can't believe, I can cook!
