AMANDA COHEN'S SECRET-WEAPON STIR-FRY SAUCE



Amanda Cohen's Secret-Weapon Stir-Fry Sauce image

On her nights off, Amanda Cohen, the chef at Dirt Candy in Manhattan, uses up the white takeout containers full of rice that accumulate in her fridge by making vegetable fried rice (see the recipe here). To ward off blandness, she stocks her freezer in advance with flavor bombs: small, dark green ice blocks of garlic, ginger, cilantro, parsley and other ingredients, frozen in ice cube trays. When the rice and vegetables are hot in the pan and ready for a boost, you simply melt a flavor cube or two in the mix and let the rice take on a tasty coat of green.

Time 30m

Yield 1 cup (about 1 ice cube tray)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup cilantro
2/3 cup parsley
2/3 cup Thai basil
4 cups spinach
2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger

Steps:

  • Tear all the stems off the herbs and spinach. (No need to be exact, just rip off most of them.)
  • Blanch the cilantro, parsley, Thai basil and spinach in a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds. As soon as they turn bright green, take them out and drop them into a bowl of ice water.
  • Take the greens out of the ice bath and shake off excess water (but leave the greens wet). Put them into a blender or small food processor with the garlic and ginger. Blend until you have a smooth, dark green purée. If it's too thick, add a little water to keep it moving, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Pour purée into an ice cube tray and pop it into the freezer. To use in fried rice, add a few cubes to the pan once the vegetables and any other protein are cooked and the rice is translucent; keep stirring as the cubes melt and coat the rice. Season and serve.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut your vegetables, marinate your protein, and measure out your sauce ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you save time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will help you distribute the ingredients evenly and prevent overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
  • Start with a hot pan: Make sure your pan is nice and hot before you add your ingredients. This will help sear the vegetables and meat, giving them a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking your ingredients in batches will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry in small batches: Stir-frying in small batches will help prevent the ingredients from becoming soggy and losing their crunch.
  • Sauce it up: Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces. There are endless possibilities, so find one that you love and use it as a base for your stir-fries.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are at their peak flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are such a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. With a little planning and practice, you can create delicious and healthy stir-fries that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stir-frying a try. You won't be disappointed!
