Sweet and Soya Anything!

Due to my inability to cook (and many other reasons), I decided to keep the dishes I made on exchange simple...you can basically use the following ingredients for anything. (BONUS)

Ingredients:
- Sugar
- Soya Sauce
- Whatever you want/feel like eating

- Cut the veggies into small pieces (you can use any type of vegetable; beans, asparagus, eggplant etc)
- Cut the meat into small pieces (optional)
- Heat the pan, drop of oil and let it heat up
- I usually like starting up with shallots cause it gives the dish unique oriental taste (but optional)
- Stirfry the meat, add the soya sauce, sugar (depending on how sweet/salty you like it, add each ingredient as you please)
- Add the veggies when the meat's half cooked and stirfry it all together
- Leave on stove till the soya sauce dries up. (The soya/sugar together should make a nice coating around the veggies/meat)

Voila! Dish complete. Best served with rice :)

Bon Appetite!

Sweet Curry Rice

Sweet curry rice : (for 1 person/ 2 pita breads)

-Put some olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the sauce pan, and then , a couple of teaspoons more). Add three teaspoons of curry powder and a bit of pepper. Heating at medium power all the time.

-When the spices are disolved, add half an apple in slices and half an onion in strips, mix them with the spices and keep it that way until the onion gets transparent.

-Add some carrots (the equivalent to the size of a thumb) in slices. Mix and keep until the onion gets golden and the carrots are soft.

-Add 2 cloves of garlic and 2-3 little mushrooms.

-Add half a cup of rice, mix it with the vegetables until it gets a bit brown.

-Put all into the rice cooker with 1 cup of water in which, previously, we have disolved half a teaspoon of vegetable stock, add a quarter of a teaspoon of salt and some drops of lemon juice. When finished, the rice at the bottom have to be a bit golden and sticky.

I like eating it with pita bread, but do whatever the fuck you want.
