Stir-fried vegetables are typically cooked in a wok or large skillet with a small amount of oil. The vegetables are stirred constantly so that they cook evenly and remain crisp.

CRISPY FISH WITH STIR-FRIED VEGETABLES



Crispy Fish with Stir-Fried Vegetables image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 cups long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 cups julienned carrots (matchsticks)
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
2 cups sliced onions
6 heads bok choy, quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup sherry
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 ounces cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lime
16 cups vegetable oil
1 pound cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for finishing
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for finishing
Six 6-ounce cod fillets
1 cup chopped scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the rice: Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Using a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Stir the rice in the boiling water and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover with a lid to hold warm for plating.
  • For the stir-fried vegetables: Heat a wok until smoking. Remove the wok from the heat and add the grapeseed oil. Place the wok back over the heat, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to avoid burning the garlic. Add the carrots, mushrooms, onions and bok choy and stir-fry until the carrots are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
  • For the sauce: Heat the wiped-clean wok over high heat. Add the chicken broth, sherry, fish sauce and ginger and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup water and add it to the sauce slowly, whisking, until the sauce reaches the desired thickness (do not add it all if it thickens up enough first). Whisk the egg yolks into the sauce, then remove from the heat and season with salt, pepper and lime juice.
  • For the fish: In a tall-sided pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F; line a plate with paper towels. In a shallow dish, season the cornstarch with the salt and pepper. Dredge the cod fillets in the cornstarch and immediately place them in the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook the fish until it floats and cooks to a golden brown. Transfer the fish to the paper towels and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
  • Scoop about 3/4 cup of rice onto the center of each of 6 plates. Top the rice with the stir-fried vegetables. Place the fried fish on top of the vegetables and spoon about 3 ounces of the sauce around the fish. Garnish the plate with the chopped scallions.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 15m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 pound firm tofu, drained and sliced about 1/2 inch thick
2 broccoli crowns, broken into florets
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon soy sauce (regular or low-sodium)
1 tablespoon fish sauce (may substitute soy sauce)
2 teaspoons dark Asian sesame oil

3/4 pound (2 medium) baby bok choy, trimmed, washed and dried, cut in 1-inch lengths
1 bunch scallions, sliced very thin
5 cups cooked quinoa (1 1/3 cups uncooked)

Steps:

  • Place the tofu slices on paper towels. Place another paper towel on top, and prepare the remaining ingredients. Cut the tofu slices into 1/2-inch dice. Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and add the broccoli. Boil one minute, and transfer at once to a bowl of ice water. Drain and dry on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce and sesame oil. Combine the garlic and ginger in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within easy reach of your pan.

Swirl in a tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting the pan. Add the tofu. Reduce the heat to medium, and stir-fry one to two minutes until it begins to brown. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the pepper and bok choy, and stir-fry for one minute. Add the broccoli, and stir-fry for one minute.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND VEGETABLES



Stir-Fried Beef and Vegetables image

I really like this recipe from McCall's Cooking School (Meat 39). Its introduction states: "This Chinese method of cooking uses a small amount of oil over high heat. Meat stays tender and juicy, vegetables crisp and colorful. Our version of this exquisite cuisine: snow peas, bok choy, green onions, water chestnuts and baby corn tossed with sirloin-steak slices and egg noodles."

Provided by mersaydees

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb sirloin steak, 1 inch thick
peanut oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 dash pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 lb fresh snow pea
1 bunch bok choy (1 3/4 pound)
6 green onions
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 (8 ounce) package chinese noodles or 4 ounces spaghetti
1/2 cup beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained

Steps:

  • Pat steak dry with paper towels. Partially freeze beef, about 15 minutes, in order to make slicing it easier. Then, using sharp knife, cut steak in half lengthwise, then cross-wise, on diagonal, into slices 1/8 inch thick; set aside.
  • In large shallow bowl, toss steak slices with 1 tablespoon peanut oil, salt, sugar, pepper and minced garlic; mix well. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Rinse snow peas under cold water; drain. With fingers, remove stem ends and strings; do not shell.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a Wok: If you have one, use a wok for stir-frying. Its wide, rounded shape allows for even heat distribution and easy tossing.
  • High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the vegetables without overcooking them. Make sure your wok or pan is nice and hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Stir Constantly: Stirring the vegetables constantly will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with vegetables. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and can make them soggy.
  • Add Sauces and Seasonings at the End: Sauces and seasonings can burn easily, so it's best to add them towards the end of cooking.

Conclusion:

Stir-frying is a quick, easy, and healthy way to cook vegetables. With a few simple tips and techniques, you can create delicious and nutritious stir-fried vegetable dishes that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give stir-frying a try!
