TGIF! Is it just me or did the week pass by quickly for you as well?
Anyhoo, after sharing with you the super simple Sausage and Potato Frittata recipe last week, here’s what I got for you today – a super healthy side dish that is ready in minutes.
This sautéed mixed vegetables with oyster sauce is perhaps the easiest and quickest side dish that you could ever prepare. It will take you less than 10 minutes to be precise. I found a recipe for this, but it called for mushrooms in it. I do love mushrooms, but sometimes I just like a dose of just plain vegetables for my side dish so I did this minus the mushrooms.
I’ve never tried using oyster sauce in any dish other than this and I just love the flavor that it gives to the vegetables – not overpowering and yet so tasty. I thought it would give it that kind of fishy taste or smell, but it didn’t.
I remember my mom talking about oyster sauce. She studied culinary arts, but I’m not sure if she used it in some of the food that she prepared at home. My mom is a good cook and I so miss her cooking.
Both the husband and I love this dish so much. My husband is not much of a broccoli person though, but he so loves cauliflower and carrots. I love it all.
My husband is a big fan of oysters too so when I told him that I used oyster sauce in it, he was delighted.
Sad to say, our son is really picky when it comes to vegetables. We’re working on it though. I was like him when I was little so I have this feeling that his outlook on vegetables will change eventually and he will love this Sauteed Mixed Vegetables with Oyster Sauce. I think most kids are like that when it comes to vegetables, huh?
Try this recipe yourself and tell me what you think. I do hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Nancy says
Sooooo naive question over here because I truly have no idea what it tastes like. Does it have a fishy taste? The oyster sauce? No idea. Serious question!
Lynndee says
Hi Nancy! It doesn’t have that fishy taste at all. At first I actually thought it would. Give it a try and let me know what you think. 🙂
