The hot summer days usually spearhead me to do the minimal, especially in the kitchen. Moreover, a <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/11/peanut-butter-sesame-mushroom-broccoli.html">vegetable salad</a> (e.g. <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/03/gado-gado-peanut-sauce-vegetables-salad.html"><i>Gado Gado</i></a>, <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/11/peanut-butter-sesame-mushroom-broccoli.html">Broccoli Mushroom Salad</a>) is easier and more comforting on the stomach when one loses appetite in the scorching heat. It might be a <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/salads">salad</a> in name but in my kitchen, <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/salads">salad</a> does not always mean raw vegetables tossed in a bowl finished off with a <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/gado-gado-vegetables-in-peanut-sauce.html">dressing</a>.<br /><br />Look at the recipe, how it is prepared - you might want to classify it a stir-fry or saute? <br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3813/19673877381_d586d0a7bd_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Did I say preparing vegetable julienne (e.g <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/08/zucchini-noodles-with-mushrooms-enoki.html">Zucchini Noodles "Zoodles" with Mushrooms</a>) became a breeze ever since I got hold of this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L3I3226/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00L3I3226&linkCode=as2&tag=anestofo-20&linkId=Q57H6KFU6KFTBBFG">simply nifty gadget - the vegetable peeler</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=anestofo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00L3I3226" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />.<br /><br />You can choose to blanch the <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/07/chayote-bell-peppers-stir-fry.html">chayote</a> and carrots altogether, however carrots are better off when sauteed in a little oil as the beta-carotene will be better absorbed in the body.<br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3834/19669398655_75d1243862_z.jpg" /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00L3I3226&asins=B00L3I3226&linkId=3WJM7JN23TESNDMD&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Chayote with Black Woodear Mushrooms 佛手瓜拌麻油黑木耳</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>: <br />3 cloves garlic, finely minced<br />1 chayote, julienned, blanched, set aside<br />10-15 fresh woodear mushrooms, sliced<br />1/2 cup julienned organic carrots<br />1-2 tsp sesame oil<br />1tsp organic apple cider vinegar<br />Some sliced red chili <br /><br /><i>Directions</i>: Saute garlic, carrots, chili in a little cooking oil.
