1 big onion, thinly sliced
2 pips garlic, finely chopped
Tom Yam paste
Oil for frying

Method
1. Pour oil in the wok.
2. Put in sliced tauhu, onion and garlic. Stir constantly to prevent it from being burnt.

3. Put in cabbage, carrot and French beans. Add salt to taste. Cover the wok and let it cook for a short while.
