STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES



Stir-Fried Sweet Potatoes image

In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger (1-inch long), peeled
1 small fresh hot chili (like jalapeño or Thai), stem and seeds removed
1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch chunks
3 tablespoons peanut oil
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce, more for serving

Steps:

  • Put scallions in food processor and pulse until finely chopped; remove. Add garlic, ginger and chili to the processor and pulse until minced; remove. Fit the processor with grating blade and grate sweet potatoes.
  • Put oil in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic-ginger-chili mixture and fry for 30 seconds. Add half the scallions and all the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; the potatoes need not be fully tender.
  • Add soy sauce, toss once, and transfer potatoes to serving platter. Garnish with remaining scallions and serve immediately with additional soy sauce, if desired.

SPICY BEEF AND SWEET-POTATO STIR-FRY



Spicy Beef and Sweet-Potato Stir-Fry image

Categories     Beef     Onion     Potato     Vegetable     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Fall     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium red onion
3 garlic cloves
1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 large)
3/4 pound snow peas
1/2 cup drained rinsed canned whole water chestnuts (from an 8-ounce can)
1 pound boneless beef sirloin
4 scallions
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons brandy
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
Accompaniment:Cooked Rice
Garnish: sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Thinly slice onion and garlic. Peel sweet potatoes and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch -thick slices. Diagonally cut potato slices into thin strips and diagonally halve snow peas. Cut water chestnuts crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and season with salt and pepper. Diagonally cut scallions into thin slices. In a small bowl stir together broth, hoisin sauce, brandy, and cornstarch until combined well.
  • Heat a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat until a bead of water dropped on cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil, swirling wok or skillet to coat evenly, and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion and stir-fry until softened. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add sweet potatoes and stir-fry until just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add snow peas and water chestnuts and stir-fry until snow peas are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large bowl.
  • Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil to wok or skillet and heat unrig just smoking. Stir-fry half of beef until browned and transfer to bowl. Add remaining tablespoon peanut oil and stir-fry remaining beef in same manner, transferring to bowl.
  • Add broth mixture to wok or skillet and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer broth mixture 1 minute. Return beef-vegetable mixture with scallions to wok or skillet and stir-fry until combined and heated through. Season stir-fry with salt and pepper and stir in sesame oil.
  • Serve stir-fry over rice, garnished with scallions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform pieces: This will also help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick and 2-inches long.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of stir-fry.
  • Use a high-heat cooking oil: A high-heat cooking oil, such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil, is best for stir-frying. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables in batches: If you're using a lot of vegetables, you may need to stir-fry them in batches. This will prevent the pan from becoming overcrowded and will help the vegetables cook evenly.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the last ingredient to be added to the stir-fry. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the vegetables are still crispy and the sauce is still hot.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato stir-fry is a delicious and healthy meal that can be made in just a few minutes. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stir-fry is perfect every time.

Here are some additional tips for making sweet potato stir-fry:

  • If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to your stir-fry, such as broccoli, carrots, or snow peas.
  • You can also add a protein to your stir-fry, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Serve your stir-fry over rice, noodles, or quinoa.

Enjoy!
