To make it even more flavorful, I added a bit of oyster sauce,which gave it a rich savory taste that perfectly blended with the natural sweetness of the vegetables.
What i love most about cooking sautéed vegetables is how simple it is to make yet it brings so much comfort and nostalgia. It reminds me of home cooked meals prepared by my parents when i was younger. Every bite feels like a taste of tradition and care. And of course the best part it is healthy!
