1
Finely chop whatever usable vegetables you have in the fridge (like cabbage) — chopping small gives the curry a more authentic texture.
2
Sauté the vegetables over high heat until they develop a slightly crisp texture and aroma — high heat is key so they sear instead of sticking and releasing water.
3
Add about a quarter of an onion to give the curry an extra layer of aroma.
4
Pour in the oyster sauce along with the curry powder and stir-fry together — this adds a savory wok aroma; there's no need to cook it fully through at this stage.
5
Simmer the vegetables until they turn slightly soft — you don't want the vegetables to stay crunchy, since that would feel less like a proper curry.
6
Stir in milk to give the curry a milder, softer flavor.
7
If the sauce seems too thin, thicken it with a cornstarch slurry to reach your desired consistency.
8
Once done, enjoy this easy, fridge-clearing mixed vegetable curry.
