As usual, mixed vegetables with shrimp paste chili sauce is my favorite menu at home for lunch. I boil various vegetables to be used as side dishes with shrimp paste chili sauce, such as spinach, long beans, and corn. Why do I always use sweet corn when cooking boiled vegetables? Because in my opinion, when there is sweet corn in the vegetable broth, it will become even sweeter. There is no need to add anything else.
And as a vegetable lover, I always cook vegetables at home, whether it's for lunch or dinner, for me vegetables that are boiled without any seasoning are much healthier than vegetables with coconut milk, especially if they are eaten with chili paste, my vegetables this time will definitely be very delicious.
Chili paste itself is very popular with many people, including our family at home, even at home I always have a lot of shrimp paste stock, hehe, so we never run out of shrimp paste
Okay, no need for small talk, I will start cooking straight away while sharing my simple cooking recipe with all of you.
