Stir-fry Shitake Mushroom with Napa Cabbage

We are more toward healthy and low-carb food nowadays. So we cook less meat but more vegetables. Quite recently, we bought a blender so that we can eat more fruits and vegetables. I can now blend papaya juice, mango juice, make tomatoes soup or things like that. I can still recall my encounter in Japan , when a chunky tuna was being sliced right in front of me served as sa~ shi~mi~. It's absolutely eerie and yucky! Who on earth will eat something like this being sliced right in front? Not ME.

I still eat meat but lesser now and I enjoy sashimi but may be not in Japan, opps! Sorry! Having said that, I look forward to join my old friend for lunch and shopping next wednesday, and I am proposing going to Sushi Tei (because I own a VIP membership with that chain hence 10% off, also because of the good food there). Yeap, so I still enjoy meat but may be more when dining out.

So from now on, I will introduce more vegetable recipes. Bravo to healthier body, mind and soul!! (sounds like some beauty salon spa's slogan) Hmm...Well, I guess it's about time for us to get healthier, no? Eating healthier food does not mean being deprived of yummy food. I can promise you good food with good nutritional values in it. *cross my heart*
