Capcay (Indonesian Veggie Stir Fry)

in #food3 days ago

Happy Wednesday!

Supposedly the temperature will warm up today. Here is crossing fingers to that. I can't wait to start planting seeds. I know some already started their indoor plantings, but Winter has been brutal, I feel like it's still way too early to start. I did grab seeding boxes and soil 2 weeks ago tho 😅 I want to plant zucchini again this year. I miss harvesting zucchini, it was always such a feeling when the zucchini gets so big 😁

For today's recipe, normally in Indonesia we don't really add ground beef, but beef pieces or chicken pieces or seafood, meatballs, but I like using ground beef in this house. Ground beef is so easy to store in the freezer, doesn't take too much space when I stack them flat (by repackaged then when I buy them), hence a lot of my cooking are using ground beef. Many times, this veggie dish is only that, veggies, no protein though 😊
