ANY VEGETABLE STIR-FRY



Any Vegetable Stir-Fry image

It's always a shame to let precious vegetables go to waste. Once they pass their prime, they can form the foundation for a tasty stir-fry. Wrap mature greens like kale, Swiss chard and spinach in a damp towel and refrigerate them and they will keep for about seven days. Once they start to become limp, they may no longer shine raw in salads but they are perfect for stir-frying. This recipe works with what you've got, building an easy stir-fry with any combination of toasted nuts, crunchy vegetables and sturdy greens.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons canola oil or other neutral oil
1 heaping cup whole, skin-on almonds, pistachios or cashews
Kosher salt
4 to 6 celery stalks, fennel stalks or bok choy, sliced on the bias
1 to 2 cups other crunchy vegetables, such as snap peas, snow peas, green beans, carrots or radishes, trimmed and sliced or chopped if large
1 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
4 packed cups sturdy greens, such as spinach, kale, mustard greens, collards or chard, trimmed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
1 to 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
4 cups steamed white or brown long-grain, sushi or basmati rice, for serving
1/2 packed cup torn or roughly chopped mint, cilantro or basil (optional)
Tamari or soy sauce, for serving
Sriracha or other hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large wok, skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the canola oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the almonds, season with salt and cook, tossing, until toasted and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the celery and crunchy vegetables and toss until slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using, and toss until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sturdy greens, toss until coated in oil, then add the vinegar, scraping the bottom of the wok to release any browned bits. Cover and cook until greens are lightly wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Season with sesame oil and salt to taste. Divide the rice among four bowls and spoon the stir-fry over the top. Scatter the herbs and drizzle with soy sauce and Sriracha, if using.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Vegetables: Using fresh, high-quality vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and crisp.
  • Cut Vegetables Uniformly: Cutting your vegetables uniformly will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about the same size and shape.
  • Use a Hot Pan: A hot pan is essential for getting a good sear on your vegetables. Make sure your pan is heated over high heat before adding the vegetables.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly. Add the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-Fry in Small Batches: Stir-frying in small batches will help prevent the vegetables from steaming. Cook the vegetables in batches until they are tender-crisp, then remove them from the pan and set aside.
  • Add Sauce Last: Add the sauce to the pan last, once the vegetables are cooked. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. With a little practice, you can create delicious stir-fries that are packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fry a try!
