We’ve been boiling up California Blend a lot as a side dish for our dinners. I prefer fresh veggies but I admit the frozen mixed veggies are very convenient since they’ve already been cut and steams really fast. Still though, I make sure we eat more fresh veggies than frozen ones so I buy ‘em fresh then cut what I need each time. The fresh vegetables are also much better in stir-fry dishes. Like this Beef & Cauliflower stir-fry with some carrots and napa cabbage too.

This Ground Beef With Zucchini & Broccoli Stir-Fry dish is a simple and very easy stir-fry to whip up on busy days or around here, rainy days. After a terrible heat wave, we’ve been having much needed rain and sometimes accompanied by and angry roar of thunder. These are the times when I enjoy just putting stuff together with whatever I have in the fridge. This is also the time when I only have a few items on the fridge before I go grocery chopping again. On the day I made this, I had 1 zucchini left, 2 heads of broccoli florets, 1/2 of onion, and few cloves of garlic. I decided to use ground beef instead of the usual beef steak meat just for a change.

My husband spent a year in Korea a few years back through his career in the Army. He would always tell me stories about the food that he tasted while over there. One of the most famous food Korea is known for is kimchi. They have all sorts of kimichi dishes there in Korea. Kimchi is not just eaten as a side dish. Sometimes people would incorporate kimchi into meat items to create a dish out of it.
One in particular is the pork and kimchi combination. I did my own version and wished for the best. I was afraid it was going to be so hot and spicy that we wouldn’t be able to eat the dish but my version turned out ok.
So after I soaked the salty Wal-Mart steaks, I made a stir-fry out of them. Not to toot my own horn.. hmmm, yes I am.. it turned out pretty good. The green peppers added freshness and the soaking process pretty much removed any salty flavor from the meat so the soy sauce seasoning was not a problem at all.
If you’re going to make this stir-fry, please don’t buy steaks from Wal-Mart so you don’t ...

INGREDIENTS:
1 bag of frozen shelled shrimps
3 cloves of garlic, chopped finely

I grabbed a couple of bittermelons from my last trip to the Asian store over there in Raleigh. I actually almost forgot I had them until I found a plastic pushed all the way back in the fridge. Good thing I discovered them before they went bad. Whewww. I would hate myself knowing I just wasted perfectly good bittermelons (Ampalaya). This vegetable happens to be my favorite Filipino vegetable. Even though it’s technically not just found in the Philippines. But I digress..
I de...
