STIR-FRIED CORN, SQUASH, AND TOMATOES WITH GINGER, GARLIC AND CILANTRO



Stir-Fried Corn, Squash, and Tomatoes With Ginger, Garlic and Cilantro image

Coconut oil gives this dish fragrance without heaviness. With a big bunch of Thai basil in hand, I wanted a sweet stir-fry with Thai flavors. I stir-fried the vegetables in coconut oil, and I loved the results. The medley has that coconut fragrance without the heaviness it would have with coconut milk. I served the vegetables with black rice, which was beautiful, but any other rice, noodles or grains like quinoa would work. Make sure that your corn is sweet and your tomatoes are juicy. You can also use the lower-priced tomatoes "for sauce" that may be at your farmers' market.

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.

CHINESE STIR-FRIED TOMATOES AND EGGS



Chinese Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggs image

Home-style Chinese food at its simplest and, arguably, tastiest, this dish is the object of nostalgia for many Chinese immigrants (and their children). Well-seasoned eggs scrambled until just-set combine at the last moment with a sweet-tart ginger-tomato sauce. Serve with lots of steamed rice. When tomatoes are out of season, canned tomatoes in juice work best.

Provided by Francis Lam

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 or 3, with rice

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 eggs
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 pound beefsteak tomatoes in season, or 1 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes in juice
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 scallions, sliced
1 teaspoon minced ginger (from about 1/4-inch nub)
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs well with 1 teaspoon salt, sesame oil and rice wine or sherry. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until well combined, then stir in the sugar and ketchup.
  • If using fresh tomatoes, core and cut them into 1/2-inch wide wedges.
  • Heat a wide nonstick skillet over high heat with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. When the oil shimmers, add most of the scallions, saving some to garnish. Cook, stirring, until very aromatic, about 20 seconds. Add the eggs, and cook, stirring well with a spatula or chopsticks, until just set but still runny, about 45 seconds. Pour the eggs back into the mixing bowl, and wipe out the pan.
  • Reheat the pan over high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. When it is hot, add the ginger and cook until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Add the tomatoes and salt to taste; cook, stirring occasionally, until the flesh has softened but still has some shape and the juices have begun to form a sauce, 2-3 minutes. (If using canned tomatoes, add the juice as well and cook about 4 minutes, to reduce it to a saucelike consistency.)
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Give the cornstarch-ketchup mixture a stir in its bowl, then stir it into the pan. Cook, stirring, until the sauce returns to a boil and thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, sugar or more ketchup - you want a savory, tart-sweet sauce. Stir the eggs in the bowl to cut up the curds a bit, then return them to the pan. Cook, stirring, for a few seconds to finish cooking the eggs and to combine. Top with the reserved scallions, and serve with steamed rice.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon (or more) cayenne pepper
12 okra pods, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 3 ears of corn)
6 baby green pattypan squash, each cut into 6 pieces
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 12-ounce bag cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Mix cornmeal and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in small bowl. Add okra and toss lightly to coat. Pour okra into sieve and shake off excess cornmeal.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add okra and sauté until coating is golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer okra to paper towels to drain; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add corn, squash, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; cover and cook until squash is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in okra, cilantro, and green onions. Remove from heat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more cayenne, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan, it will steam instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry over high heat: This will help the vegetables retain their crispness.
  • Add the sauce at the end: This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Garnish with cilantro: Cilantro adds a fresh, bright flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried corn, squash, and tomatoes with ginger, garlic, and cilantro is a healthy, flavorful dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is packed with fresh vegetables and has a delicious sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles, or enjoy it as a side dish.
