Dining Hall Specials: Microwave Simulated Stir-Fried Vegetables (season 1, episode 6)

[Watch the episode]
Ingredients

Vegetables from the salad bar.
(Mainly romaine/iceberg lettuce. Some onion and mushrooms if you have them.)
Oil
Salt
Lee Kum Kee fermented black bean paste, optional
(if you add this, go easy on the salt, or no salt at all)

Cost: None, if you are on a meal plan at school.  If not, it should be <$1.

Instructions

  1. Take 2 plates and a soup bowl, add vegetables to the soup bowl.
  2. Coat well with oil and add some water if necessary.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. The trick to avoid scalding yourself is to use the plates to sandwich the soup bowl, thus providing a cool surface to move your setup in and out of the microwave.
  4. Add salt to taste. Stir and serve.
