Homegrown Mint And Taiwan 'Yau Mak' - Healthy Meal

I am happy with my harvest from my little space...Mint and Taiwan 'Yau Mak' .  I turned them into healthy dishes...simple to prepare and lots of nutrients :) and knowing what you feed the veggies makes it even more healthier :p  First dish is Mint Omelette With Toasted Laver (seaweed) and the second dish is Stir fry Taiwan ' Yau Mak' with tau joo aka fu yee ( white version ).  These two dishes is enough for two persons.  A light meal though. You can serve these dishes with teochew porridge or with plain rice. 

I do eat -out often or order in if I am too lazy or tired.  And when I cook, I try to cook healthy and homecooked is still the best.

the mint grown in my little space are luscious

these homegrown Taiwan 'Yau Mak' are sweet and crunchy
