Cap Cay / Vegetable Stir Fry

Capcay usually found at a Chinese Indonesian restaurant. I learned this recipe from my father, he can cook very well and so delicious…. (",)
Capcay means mixed vegetables, you can use all kinds of vegetables you think would fit in, exp : baby corn, snow peas, broccoli, ect.
and beside chicken, you can add pork, beef, chicken, chicken liver, tofu, meatball, fish meatball, or shrimp too.
