I have tried many methods of making these vegetables interesting but nothing seem to work at all. I have the opportunity to visit Thailand recently and I notice that in Thailand, they do not use salt. Instead of salt, they prefers soy sauce or fish sauce. Further, Thai dish are mostly sweet. They add sugars in their dish, which makes it very yummy. So I decided to try to cook my vegetables with these ingredients. And I love it. It is something different and I am sharing it here with you guys. I hope you will enjoy this recipe like I do.
