Stir Fry

Walking home, I thought, "Man, I'd really like some food. Where can I go buy something". I stopped and thought though: "Nothing particularly appealing or cheap. Maybe, I could cook something instead."

Here's an easy dish that took me around 30 mins to do. And that is because I am a slow cooker.

Gather the following ingredients
- a few bits of garlic
- half an onion
- around 250g(?) of broccoli (one of those smallish bunches from Rustans)
- small pack of oyster mushrooms
- black bean garlic sauce of LKK
- honey, as much as one of those packs you get for tea in Starbucks.
- olive oil

1. Chop the garlic, onion to smaller pieces. Make them the size you like, but I recommend smallish and dicey.
2. Chop the broccoli. Remove the parts on top that are starting to go discolored because of age.
3. Heat the pan with a bit of olive oil. Heating is only step 3 'coz I chop slow and don't want smoking oil when I'm not done chopping.
4. When pan is sufficiently hot, saute the garlic. Enjoy the smell of cooking
5. Saute the onion too. Keep on cooking til it turns transparent-ish.
6. Add the chopped broccoli. Be patient in cooking broccoli. Maybe 5 minutes or so for now.
7. Add the mushrooms
8. Add the black bean garlic sauce, approx 2 teaspoons. Don't add too much, as it has a strong flavor.
8. Add the honey, and even a (shh) bit of Soy sauce / Knorr Savor if you think it'll help.
9. Cook some more. Stir the veg even if this doesn't help but at least it seems like you're "cooking".
10. Taste your yummy stir fry.
11. Ready to eat. Pair with some good carbs, such as: good white rice / good red rice / good toasted whole grain bread. Do not pair with croissant.
12. Be proud and tell friends.
