Vegetarianism: Stir Fried Cucumber

My mother-in-law cooked this dish one day and we all fell in love with it. At first, we were skeptical of the taste because we usually eat cucumber raw or pickled (sides of satay, acar, etc). Who wouldn't, right? But, surprise surprise~ It actually tastes good!

After stir frying, the cucumber does not have the raw edge or refreshing taste to it. Rather, it has become more subdued. You will still be able to relate it back to cucumber, but some may guess that it is stir fried luffa. I did the version without adding chilli. If you like to spice it up a little, just add cut chilli to Step 1.

Ingredients:
1 cucumber sliced (remove seeds)
Sliced carrots
1 tsp mushroom granules
1 tsp pepper
Cooking oil

Steps:

1. Heat up the cooking oil and stir-fry sliced carrots with 1 tsp of pepper and 1 tsp of mushroom granules.
2. Add in cucumber and continue to stir-fry.
3. Serve when cucumber is translucent.

Do adjust the amount of seasoning to suit your taste. 

Bon appetit!
