Oftentimes, we always find leftover food and day old vegetables in our refrigerator. Knowing just how costly groceries can be, it's important to make use of every single produce so that nothing goes to waste. One day, Thirdy and I were rummaging through my ref to look for something to cook, and voila, we decided to make our very own mongolian rice mix with the extra vegetables and leftover food!
1.) Gather the following ingredients (these are the ones we used, but you can always add more ingredients according to your liking) (from L-R):
spanish chorizo, rice, egg, carrots, bell pepper, green beans, garlic, onion, togue, green chilis, red chili, ground pork, shrimp, oyster sauce and teriyaki sauce
2.) Heat your wok. If you don't have a wok, you can use a normal pan. Add vegetable oil and wait for it to heat up.
3.) Add in the vegetables first which are the onions, garlic, carrots, bell pepper and green chilis.
4.) Add in your ground pork, and chorizo. (Or any other meats that you prefer.)
5.) For an extra hint of spicy-ness, you have the option to add red chilis.
6.) Add the oyster sauce and teriyaki sauce. Mix.
7.) Since the togue cooks easily, you have to add it in the last part to make sure it won't get overcooked. This goes the same with other kinds of vegetables that easily wilt.
8.) We added the leftover shrimp last because it was already cooked.
9.) Add the rice and mix.
Lastly, set aside the previous ingredients and then add the egg.
This is how your final product should more or less look like! It's good to share this recipe with your own yayas, and cooks at home so you can help in reducing waste!
Happy reading!
