Only have carrot, cabbage, yellow onion and egg at home? Not to worry, these ingredients allow you to prepare a pretty decent dish. This recipe was created by my late grandmother long ago, possibly over two decades ago if I remember correctly.
 The story began when grandpa took us to dine out at a restaurant during one of our sight-seeing trips. When he came home, he told grandma he liked that simple dish cooked with carrot, cabbage and eggs that we had at restaurant. Without hesitant, the next day grandma prepared the same dish again. Picked with a pair of chopsticks, he tried and said, "Yes, exactly!". Since then, this dish is commonly served on our dining table. As the third generation of my family, I cook this dish pretty often and of course, proud carry on as our family's tradition!

Ingredients 1/2 cup carrot - julienned 1/2 cup cabbage - julienned same thickness with carrot 1/4 cup yellow onion - julienned 1 large egg - whisked 1 tsp cooking oil 1 tsp garlic - minced salt and pepper to taste
 Method 1. Heat up the wok. Pour cooking oil. 2. Once oil heated, add garlic. Saute or stir until fragrant or turn brown. 3. Add carrot, cabbage, yellow onion. Stir occasionally. 4. Add a little water and bring it to boil to cook the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. 5. While gravy is still boiling, pour in egg on the vegetables. Tips: Do not stir and stay at medium-high heat until egg is cooked - that's the arts of this dish. Otherwise, the egg would have a poor blend with the vegetables. 6. Once the egg hardens and cooked, toss the vegetables. 7. Serve warm with steamed rice.
 Bon Appetit!
