Ginger Veggie Stir-Fry image

I just whipped this up one day when I felt like a stir-fry but did not have all the ingredients called for in some of the stir-fry recipes on this site. I used certain veggies I had on hand, but any seasonal veggies may be used. It has a mild ginger flavor that can be enhanced according to taste, and is filling yet light on the tummy! Tofu may be added. Serve over a bed of steamed jasmine rice.

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

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.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable broth
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 pound carrots, cut into julienne strips
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
1/2 pound Napa cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl stir together broth, rice wine, sugar, cornstarch, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
  • 2. Heat a wok over high heat until hot. Add vegetable and sesame oil and heat until it just begins to smoke. Stir-fry carrots 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, cabbage, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry 2 minutes, or until carrots are crisp-tender. Add broth mixture to vegetables. Stir-fry vegetables an additional minute to coat. Add scallions and stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy organic vegetables to avoid pesticides and other chemicals.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-2 inches in size.
  • Use a hot pan: A hot pan will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry in batches: If you have a lot of vegetables to cook, stir-fry them in batches. This will help to prevent the pan from becoming overcrowded.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your stir-fry sing. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the flavor of.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the vegetable's texture and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
