Steps:
- Whisk together the olive oil, 4 cloves of garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef sirloin tip, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove the beef sirloin tip from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the beef. Cook and stir until the beef is evenly browned, and no longer pink. Place beef on a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Stir in 2 cloves of garlic, green onion, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in green beans, beef broth, lime juice, basil, mint, red pepper flakes and pepper. Return beef sirloin to skillet and toss to combine. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu pieces and stir-fry until nicely browned. Remove and drain on paper towels. When cool, cut them into bite-size strips. Set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet or saute pan over high heat. If the pan is smaller than 12 inches, cook the vegetables in two batches. Wait until the oil gets very hot, almost smoking (the vegetables should sizzle during the entire cooking time), and add the shallots, constantly stirring until they become fragrant, about 20 seconds.
- Add the mushrooms and stir-fry for another 20 seconds. Add the broccoli, cabbage, and bok choy, stir for 30 seconds, and add the red bell pepper. (If the pan gets too dry, sprinkle in 1 to 2 tbsp water).
- Working quickly, create an open space in the middle of the pan by pushing the vegetables against the edges. Add the soy sauce to the open area. It should sizzle and caramelize slightly, creating a distinctive aroma. Stir the vegetables with the soy sauce a few times and remove from the heat. Toss the vegetables with the tofu.

A VIETNAMESE STIR-FRY
Of all the flavors that seem to bring out the rest of the cabbage family's earthy greenness, few work as effectively as those of Southeast Asia. Ginger, green onion, and garlic have a natural affinity with chlorophyll-rich vegetables of any sort, but the saltiness of the fish sauces with which Thai and Vietnamese cooks season their food does much for cabbage leaves. I often serve this with roast duck, which appreciates such seasoning, or as a side order for a mushroom stir-fry hot with chiles and soy.

Steps:
- Bring a saucepan of deep water to a boil and salt it lightly. Wash the greens thoroughly. Peel the garlic and ginger, finely chop the garlic, and shred the ginger into matchsticklike strips. Trim the green onions and cut each into two or three.
- Warm the oil in a shallow pan or wok. Toss the garlic, ginger, and green onions in the oil until deep gold, verging on being lightly browned and fragrant. Drop the greens, whole or shredded as you wish, into the boiling water. Leave for only a minute or so before draining. Pour the fish sauce in with the garlic and ginger-it will spit and sizzle-then toss with the greens and eat.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality vegetables: This will ensure that your stir-fry is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate your vegetables: This is a great way to add extra flavor and moisture to your stir-fry. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Stir-fry your vegetables in batches: This will prevent them from becoming overcrowded and steamed.
- Add your sauce at the end: This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: This is when it is at its best.
Conclusion:
Vietnamese stir-fried vegetables is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be served as a main course or a side dish. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious stir-fry that the whole family will enjoy.
