Fabulous Friday Flavour: Spicy Stir Fry Vegetables with Egg
Category: Fabulous Friday Flavours
After several days in Singapore and stuffing our faces with fabulous home-made food, I decided to do something simple from whatever leftovers I can find in the fridge.
Turned out, I had some fresh chillies, a bunch of Chinese cabbages, a couple of taters and a single, lone egg. So here we go with an easy, no-fuss, left-over ingredient-dump stir fry!

I love inventing meals with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I actually did that as a side gig; go to people’s houses and make a meal with whatever I find in their pantry 🙂 I’d like to do that again when I find time (in my next life, lol) Welcome home and thanks for linking with Thursday Favorite Things!
Come to Bangkok and raid my fridge and my kitchen!! 😀 I’ll welcome you anytime and I’m more than happy to be your guinea pig! Hey! You could do another TV show with that concept – just show up at people’s door, raid their pantry and cook a meal! We’ll call you the Meal Fairy! 😀 x.
