Add 1 more tablespoon of oil and 6 cups of chopped vegetables (broccoli, snow peas, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus, etc.) to the pan. Stir fry until crisp-tender. Return your protein to the pan. Add 1 cup of stir fry sauce (this full recipe) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened, stirring to evenly distribute the sauce.

Categories     Sauces

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup chicken stock (or low-sodium broth)
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sherry wine (or Chinese cooking wine)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch (dissolved in 1 tablespoon water)
1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 tablespoons fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the stock with the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch slurry, vinegar and sesame oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut oil until shimmering. Add the ginger and crushed red pepper and cook over high heat, stirring, until fragrant and golden.
  • Add the stock mixture and boil over high heat until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute.
  • Note/Ideas: I usually add some garlic and some fresh orange juice instead of all that stock and 1/4 teaspoon of salt - I think this is really nice because it gives you a lot of sauce - I don't like a dry stir fry, especially over rice.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. The more colorful your stir-fry, the more nutritious it will be. Choose vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy eating.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet. This will help the vegetables sear and retain their crispness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of fry.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables in batches if necessary. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the sauce last. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it is at its best.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a delicious and nutritious stir-fry on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-fry a try.
