Stir Fry Recipe

[marshalynne]

Anyone have any stir fry recipes? I love stir fried vegetables with Teriakyi Sauce but never seem to be able to make mine taste like the others I have had. I would appreciate any stir fry recipes (doesn't have to be just veggies!)

Thanks!

Here's one of my favorites:

TARRAGON CHICKEN
2 boneless chicken breasts (about 1-1/2 lbs)
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 tsps cornstarch
1-1/2 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
1 tsp dried tarragon, crushed
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 lb fresh broccoli, cut up
5 green onions, bias-sliced into 1" lengths
1 medium sweet red or green pepper, cut into 3/4" pieces

Cut chicken into 1" pieces. For sauce, stir together water, wine, cornstarch, bouillon, tarragon and lemon juice, set aside.
In wok or large skillet over high heat, add oil (add more oil as necessary during cooking). Stir fry broccoli for 1-1/2 min. Add green onions and pepper pieces. Stir-fry about 1-1/2 min or until vegetables are crisp tender. Remove from pan.
Add half of the chicken, stir-fry about 3 min or til done. Remove and stir-fry the remaining chicken. Return all chicken to pan and push from center. Stir sauce, add to center. Cook and stir til thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 min more. Return vegetables to pan. Stir ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cook and stir for 1 min. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

I always serve this over rice, and I use whatever vegetables I have on hand or am in the mood for. I always add carrots for flavor and color.

Here's a couple of my favorites. The mango needs to be sweet ripe in this first one (it's okay if it's not, but the taste is just so much better if it is) I tend to add way more spinach and slice an onion into chunks and add it too.

Lamb with Spinach and Mango

3 Tbs soy sauce
1/4 tsp five spice powder
1 1" piece ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 lb lamb, cut into strips
1 Tbs sesame oil
1 fresh hot red chile, seeded and minced
8 green onions, sliced
1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1/2" pieces
6 oz fresh spinach
3 Tbs rice wine
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 Tbs water

Combine soy sauce, five spice powder, ginger and garlic. Add lamb and toss to coat. Marinate at least 1 hour or overnight. Heat wok and add sesame oil. Drain lamb, reserve marinade. Stir fry lamb 2-3 minutes. Add chile, green onions and mango, stir fry 1 minute. Stir in spinach, rice wine and reserved marinade. Add cornstarch mixture. Stir until spinach wilts. Serve over noodles.


I don't know what this next one was originally called because my brother and I always called it cellophane noodles (because of the bean threads) when mom made it. I dice carrots and add those and green onions and about half a pkg of frozen snow peas to it.

Chinese Cellophane Noodles

2 pkgs bean threads
round steak cut for stir fry
mushrooms, chopped
2 Tbs oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbs honey
2 tsp fresh grated ginger
2 garlic cloves

Combine soy sauce, honey, ginger and garlic. Add steak and marinate for 2 hours. Drain and reserve liquid. Soak bean threads for 10 minutes in hot water, drain. Heat oil in skillet, add steak and stir fry until no longer pink. Add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes. Stir in reserved liquid and bean threads. Cook 1-2 minutes, until heated through.

This stir-fry is not teriyaki, but it has similar flavor appeal. It's my husband's absolute favorite, especially when I substitute shrimp for the chicken!

Smokey chicken stir fry

2 T Oil
2 boneless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
1/2 lb sugar snap peas
1/2 lb button or portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
2 T roasted chili paste
4 T fish sauce

Mix together chili paste and fish sauce in a small bowl. Heat oil over medium high heat in a nonstick skillet (or over high heat in a wok). Add chicken and saute until nearly cooked through. Add bell peppers and snap peas; cook until tender crisp. Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms release their juices. Pour chili sauce over the top and stir until heated through.

Serve with brown rice http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/smile.gif
