Have you ever missed cooking? In fact, even though I only left home for a few days, I missed my kitchen. I missed cooking comfort food for me, and also for my husband.

I miss my kitchen! A few days away from home made me miss my kitchen as much as I missed my bed!

The last few days after my staycation, I stayed at my mother-in-law's house. So, I didn't cook at all, because I didn't go home.

At my mother-in-law's house, I didn't cook. Not because I'm lazy ehehe. But that's what I always do when I'm at my mother-in-law's house. My mother-in-law loves to cook. So, she actually objects if she doesn't cook. I also respect her decision and I don't want to disturb my mother-in-law's kitchen.

Usually, my mother-in-law will ask me for special menus and I will cook in my kitchen. So, we respect each other and our relationship is very good like mother and daughter.

The few days I stayed at my mother-in-law's house also felt like staying in a hotel. Ehehe. My mother-in-law always doesn't want me to do any work. As if my mother-in-law knows, if I stay at her house, it means I really need a break. 😊❤️

Well, back to my cooking topic today. I want to have lunch with something simple. Stir-fried veggies. So, I shopped for vegetables at the market.

I have green beans, mushrooms. Also, tempeh. So, I'm going to make stir-fried vegetables. Also, roasted tempeh using an air fryer.

For extra flavor, I'm also going to add coconut milk to the stir-fried vegetables. And, wait, I'm also adding spicy flavor using green chilies. Also for extra fragrance, I'm using cinnamon stalk with dried bay leaves. Perfect.




THE INGREDIENTS

I will do my best, because coconut has been prescribed to me as very medicinal, that is why you live so far away from Venezuela where there are many coconut plants and you guide us a very distinguished meal with the fruit of this plantation. Excellent. Best of luck.

The first photo is so beautifully appetizing, even the yellow flowers provoke me to eat them, the play of colors of the dish that you are presenting, is very well presented, as I have said in other opportunities food enters through the eyes, and what I see looks very good, and I do not doubt that it is very tasty.

@anggreklestari First of all it's nice to know that your mother in law loves you very much and you think of her as your own mother. Relationship should always be what you have. Always maintain such a relationship. Secondly, vegetable stir-fry with coconut milk is really delicious. Love the recipe even though it's simple. Thank you very much.

I guess it's also because my late mom is very kind to her daughters-in-law, and I get the same for that kindness :)

This dish is a combination of savory, and just a little sweet. Umami taste :)

In our country, we can't grow tulips because we only have dry and rainy seasons.

Your dishes are always beautifully prepared and presented. But what's awesome is your relationship with your mother-in-law. It's a blessing to have such a bond where she feels like you are a daughter. I feel like you say, it's out of respect for each other. She doesn't invade your space, and you give her the courtesy to operate in her own space.

I know what it's like to have the opposite, so cherish your relationship with your mother-in-law for as long as you both live. Take care and have a good rest of your week.
