 I found this recipe on http://asiarecipe.com/bruveg.html#fried. It was very easy and quite delicious. I think that Asian foods are normally very good. They have alot of fresh vegetables in their dishes. It does take an awful long time to cut all the veggies though. Traditionally they are all supposed to be cut into the same size. I didn't have the patience to though. Large bites of broccolli, little bites of onion, long noodles, and short mung beans. It didn't really change the taste though.
 Brunei is a small country that lies on the South China Sea. It is a little bit bigger than Delaware and borders Malaysia. I am really enjoying learning geography as I learn to cook the different meals.
