Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup (90 milliliters) vegetable stock
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Pinch white pepper
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
One 14-ounce (420-gram) package firm tofu (see Cook's Note), cut into large dice

12 cremini mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces (95 grams) canned sliced bamboo shoots

1/2 cup (120 grams) julienned carrots
1 cup (240 grams) shredded Napa cabbage leaves
2 ounces (95 grams) snow peas, trimmed

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Stir together the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved well. Set aside.
  • For the vegetable stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Swirl in
  • the oil to coat the bottom. When you see wisps of white smoke, add the tofu and stir-fry until light brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add the ginger and stir-fry it until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, cabbage and snow peas and keep them moving while searing. Don't be scared to scrape the pan and fold the vegetables over many times. Cook until the Napa cabbage gets bright green and starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.

Time 21m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb tilapia fillet, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons canola oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, fresh, peeled, minced
4 cups Chinese cabbage, sliced
3 cups broccoli florets
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
3/4 cup chicken broth, reduced sodium
2 tablespoons soy sauce, reduced sodium
3 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place tilapia and vinegar in medium bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until drop of water sizzles in pan. Add oil and swirl to coat pan.
  • Add garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and bell pepper.
  • Stir fry until vegetables begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add broth and soy sauce; bring to boil.
  • Add tilapia, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is just opaque in center, 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in scallions.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your stir-fry the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a farmers market or local grocery store.
  • Cut your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about the same size and shape.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: A hot wok or skillet will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Cook the vegetables in batches: If you overcrowd the wok or skillet, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook the vegetables in batches, stirring constantly, until they are tender-crisp.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately. The vegetables will start to lose their texture and flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Tilapia and vegetable stir-fry is a quick, easy, and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be tailored to your own dietary preferences. With a little practice, you can make a delicious stir-fry that your whole family will enjoy.
