Baby Corn, Ham, and Jicama Stir Fry is a quick and easy vegetable stir fry recipe. This involves different veggies such as jicama, corn, green beans, and green peas. The flavor and texture of this dish is really awesome.
Cooking stir-fry is simply frying and stirring or tossing the ingedients at the same time (at least most of the time). This is a cooking method that requires high heat because the ingredients need to cook as fast as possible. Stir fry dishes are usually served with fried rice. How about trying Yang Chow fried rice with this dish?
For those who are not familiar with baby corn or young corn, this ingredient is still corn on the cob that were harvested quickly before the appropriate harvest time. It can be bought packaged in cans or in a container with water (usually in Asian stores). The Ham helps enhance the flavor of this dish while the jicama gives-in a nice crunchy texture to it.

Hi Vanjo,
I tried this recipe last night for dinner. I hardly find any Singkamas here in Dubai so I just skipped that ingredient and the cooking wine…well, I mistakenly thought it’s white wine hahaha…typical of me. My boyfriend loved it! Actually, your site is now part of our daily habit in preparing meals. Very helpful. We are soon gonna try your “Paella”. Btw, what is the correct pronunciation of that? We keep arguing about it. I say “Pa-el-ya” and he corrects me by saying “Pa-eh-ya”. So I tell him that we were colonized by Spaniards back in the days blah blah blah and he tells me he’s been to Spain. 🙂
So anyway, more power to you and hope to try more of your recipes!

Glad that it still turned alright,Samantha.
Filipinos pronounce Paella as “Pa-el-ya”. There is nothing wrong with it. Here in the US, it is pronounced as “Pa-eh-ya”.
