Friday Stir Fry : Broccoli Mushroom & Shrimp with Oyster Sauce

Since my baby can crawl and stand , it is hard for me to cook something complicated. I need to watch him carefully. Unfortunately the split level design in my apartment doesn't allow me to cook while watching him. So quick and easy menus will be my choice these days.
Stir fry is one of quick and easy way to cook. I had more than 5 guests tonight, I prepared these two kind of stir fry.

BROCCOLI MUSHROOM

Ingredients :
3 crowns of broccoli
1/2 pound of sliced mushrooms
1/2 big onion julienned
1 tablespoon of mince garlic
3 tablespoon of canola oil
1 tbs oyster sauce
1 tbs fish sauce
1/2 tbs of rice cooking wine
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
50 mL water
2 tsp of corn starch

1. Boil broccoli until the color is changed (do not overcook, so the broccoli will be still green). Strained the boiled broccoli.
2. Heat canola oil in a pan, saute onion and garlic until soft and we can smell the fragrance.
3. Add the mushroom, stir fry until color changed, and put all the seasoning, mix well.
4. Add 50 mL water that mixed with 2 tsp of corn starch.
4. Add broccoli into the pan, mix with all the ingredients quick. Serve while still hot.

My Birthday 2010

Last Tuesday (6/15) was my birthday.
I was too lazy to cook something special on my birthday..my excuse is Monday before my birthday we went to Lebanon,NH & Vermont, and arrived at home at mid night. So tired but happy :-)
But I was so blessed...At 10.30 am, 3 people came to my house and bringing food and cake..
Actually they would have meeting with my husband, but apparently they remembered my bday.
The Pad Thai was so good, but I forgot to take the picture of it..
The cake is also good, not too sweet, pandan flavor and top with fresh fruits. Unfortunately, since I still have to breastfeed my baby who has allergic to eggs, I only brave enough to take one small slice..
Above all, I thank God for this year...
I've been 17 years old, for 17 years now ^_^

In the afternoon...a couple knocked at my door and brought this kind of 'spring roll'....yummmy...




This is my birthday cake...
