Instructions

Heat the oil in a large wok and then add the onion.
2 tablespoons sunflower oil, 1 small onion
Cook for 2 minutes and add the curry madras.
½ teaspoon curry Madras
Mix well and continue baking for 1 minute.
Spoon the leek rings into the onion mixture and mix well.
2 leeks
Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes to soften the leeks.
Add chili flakes to the veggies and season with salt.
¼ teaspoon chili flakes, salt
Mix everything well and serve immediately.

NOTES

1. Variations

Extra protein: Add tofu or cooked chicken or shrimp cubes to the leeks and stir-fry them.
Spicy: If you like spicy, you can add more chili flakes. If you want less spice, half the amount of chili flakes.
Use a shallot instead of a yellow onion for even more flavor.

2. Tips

Make sure everything is cut and measured ready. When stir-frying, you have to be able to grab everything quickly.
Leek: Cut the leek into equal pieces. This way, all leeks are ready at the same time.
Wok: If you don't have a wok, use a frying pan / skillet.

3. Storage
Cool quickly before storing leeks.

Refrigerator: Wrap the leek in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days.
Freezer: Store the leeks in a freezer box or bag. This keeps it good for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator.
Reheat: Heat on a low fire in a pan (with a tablespoon of oil) or warm the leek in the microwave.
