Beef Stir Fry - Asian Style

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 00:16:36 -0500

Preparation time does include marinade time, just to allow the marinade to soak into the beef. To get neat thin slices of beef I freeze the beef for 45 mins and then slice thinly, giving me the perfect cut. I don't eat red meat but Hubby and Little Miss (DD) love beef and they enjoyed this quick recipe. Original recipe comes from Annette Sym's which was featured on Channel Nine's Extra but I have twinkled with it -- posted by Chef floWer

Chicken Passionata

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:22:13 -0500

Nice light pasta and chicken dish! Very versatile and forgiving that children tend to love. This has become a family dish we make often. I have even served it for large crowds and dinner parties. I have been making it for more years then I would like to admit and I received it from my mother-in-law. Omit the chicken, add more broccoli and you have a nice vegetarian meal. -- posted by Intl Teacher

Asparagus and Toasted Garlic

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:52:49 -0500

This is by far my favorite asaparagus recipe. It's a great holiday side dish, or perfect for any meal because it's so quick and easy. My best advice is to pick thin asparagus stalks, as the thicker ones are often bitter and don't cook as well. Take care not to burn the garlic -the idea is to lightly toast it. -- posted by Ditterbug

Arriving home late (again) I needed something that was quick, simple yet full of satisfying flavors. This recipe modified from another site did the trick. When I made this I added two medium zucchini, halved and sliced, and cooked them just after the chicken and before the sauce. Made this a complete meal. -- posted by justcallmetoni

It's from Sallie Ann Robinson's Southern cookbook, "Gullah Home Cooking the Daufuskie Way: Smokin' Joe Butter Beans, Ol' 'Fuskie Fried Crab Rice, Sticky-Bush Blackberry Dumpling, And Other Sea Island Favorites" where it is called "Anything Rice" because it truly works with anything.

Sausage Apple Skillet

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 10:41:44 -0500

I threw this together on one of those "I wonder what's in the fridge" nights, and it's now one of my favorite dinners. We have it a few times a month. I love the blend of sweet and spicy sauce with the fresh taste of the peppers and the tartness of the apple. I've found that the apple makes or breaks the dish. Make sure you use a firm apple with bold flavor. If you use a mushy or mild flavored apple you'll probably find yourself spitting it out. -- posted by Wigglesworth

Noble House Long Life Noodles

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 00:19:11 -0500

Any type of noodle - thin chow mein noodles to broad rice noodles to the thicker Shanghai wheat noodles - is a must at Chinese New Year's. However, long noodles represent a long unbroken life (so cutting them into shorter strands would symbolically shorten your life). Pull out your largest skillet or wok because this recipe creates a full pan. -- posted by Celticevergreen

Coconut Curried Chickpeas, Cauliflower, and Spinach

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:49:53 -0500

This is my FAVORITE recipe!!!! It's healthy, ridiculously tasty, and takes less than 15 minutes to cook. It has the added bonus of being vegetarian, but it's just so good that I'll feed it to anyone and everyone! I got the recipe from Vegetarian Times, the original may be found at http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipes/7747. We've eaten this with rice, wheat tortillas, or by itself. Basically we just can't stop eating it! Just a warning to all those gringos out there, it's a little bit spicy. ;) In case zaar can't find all the ingredients, the basic nutritional info per serving is: 34 cal/14g protein/13g total fat/11g fiber/46g carbs -- posted by EmJoMay

Thai Pork Stir-Fry

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:08:10 -0500

This recipe is from the 2009 Milk Calendar. Thai food doesn't necessarily mean hot & spicy but it does mean flavourful & delicious! Serve this super fast stir-fry over rice or noodles. Cooking tip: Thai green curry paste can be found in jars or packets with the Asian foods at most grocery stores. It is quite spicy so if you're not sure about the heat, start with the lowest amount suggested. Other curry pastes can be used as well. The first time I made this, I just used your basic brown curry paste from the local health food store. For the Adventurous: Use Thai fish sauce instead of soy sauce, increase curry paste to 1-1/2 tsp. and add 2 cups shredded napa cabbage with peppers. (I have neved tried this alternative myself, and I don't know about the taste, but feel free to try it and post what it was like!) Healthy Eating Tip: During the colder months, Canadians should be topping up on vitamin C and zinc. This recipe is an excellent source of both - so no need for supplements! *Note: This recipe has a very prominent lime flavour to it, so if you're not that big on the lime, I would suggest cutting back on it a little bit.* -- posted by Glazbinator

Ginger Beef Stir-Fry (Pad Khing Nuah)

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:31:05 -0400

I found this recipe in a beginners Thai cookbook by the Australian Women's Weekly and tweaked it slightly. It is simple to make and has a lovely ginger kick. I suggest serving with basmati rice, however rice noodles also work well. A tip from the book is to put the beef in the freezer for an hour before preparing so that it is easier to slice thinly. -- posted by ~sabrina~

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry (Martha Stewart)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:08:38 -0400

This recipe is from Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food". This stir-fry is delicious over brown rice or Asian noodles. To toast the cashews, spread them on a baking sheet and cook in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. If you like a sweet-and-sour flavor, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the sauce in step 4. -- posted by blucoat

Zhajiang Mian - Minced Pork Tossed Noodles

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:57:04 -0400

I found this recipe in the '2008 Australian Gourmet Traveller Annual Cookbook'. This is a one-dish meal which uses brown bean sauce made from fermented soy beans and wheat flour. Pun Chun is the recommended brand. Basically the dish is cooked noodles tossed in a meat sauce, topped with crunchy shredded cucumber. Some conversions for those who need them: 80ml = 21/2 fluid ounces; 300g = approximately 91/2 ounces; 500gm = 16 ounces; 375g = 12 ounces.. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Thai Stir-Fry Chicken and Vegetables

I adapted this recipe from one I found in a magazine. I lived in Thailand for 5 years and it uses all the ingredients I think of when I think of Thai food. I use a lot of chili flakes, so it ends up very spicy, so cut it down by at least half if you prefer it milder. It serves 2 hungry people or 4 if you like smaller portions. Serve over steamed Jasmine rice. -- posted by Jo in Singapore

Japanese Mom's Tofu Stir-Fry

My Mom NEVER buys extra firm tofu, just doesn't like the texture. One day (about 20 years ago) she bought extra firm by mistake. She didn't want to go back to the store, and didn't want to waste perfectly good food, so she came up with this recipe that has become a favorite for me. Now, she occassionally buys extra firm tofu on purpose! I love this and make it often when I want a simple quick lunch or supper. -- posted by kittycatmom

Chicken, Cashews and Red Pepper Stir-Fry

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:28:24 -0400

This dish balances salty, sweet, tangy and spicy ingredients. It is truly wonderful! :) Recipe is from Barbara Lauterbach, Cooking Light Magazine, April 2009 edition. She suggests that it be served alongside a quick rice pilaf. Cook a 10 oz package frozen white rice (such as Birds Eye SteamFresh) according to package directions. We had rice already made since there is white rice always around!! Combine cooked rice, 2 Tablespoons drained chopped water chestnuts, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt (or perhaps one of Mrs Dash's 13 choices) and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and a sprinkling of chopped green onions. Make sure you have it all chopped and ready so that cooking it will be a breeze. ;) -- posted by Manami

Mongolian Beef

Wed, 20 May 2009 01:50:05 -0400

After running across this recipe for Mongolian Beef on Allrecipes.com, I had to place it here for safekeeping and so that I can add it to my cookbooks. The first time I had Mongolian Beef was at a food court in one of the local shopping centers, and since that time, I've searched high and low for a recipe that looked as though it could rival theirs, and I think I've found it and can't wait to try it. This recipe could be dressed up or down depending on your tastes. It is definately a spicy dish and probably not something you'd serve children without revisions. The only thing I think I would add when I make it the first time would be sliced mushrooms, YUM! I think that I world serve with oriental noodles such as udon; it would also be very good served over rice. -- posted by Happy Hippie

East Meets West Vegetable Soba Stir-Fry

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 02:34:50 -0400

I came with this one afternoon whilst in the mood for a stir-fry & the taste of soy.

It can easily be doubled & you can add tofu for more protein & bell peppers for more of a zip. -- posted by SamiBTX

The recipe might look wordy and long but it is quite easy to follow and puts together rather quickly. You can use turkey breast in this if you like, or even shrimp. Just be aware the shrimp cooks faster than poultry and pull it off the heat just as it begins to curl. Tightly curled shrimp are really kind of tough and stringy. -- posted by Sue L

Save time and money by pre-slicing and freezing one-cup portions of your favorite vegetables to have on hand. Store them in Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bags to keep them fresh tasting and protected from freezer burn. You can also buy steak in advance, slice it and freeze it in a Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bag. Stir-fried dishes are usually seasoned with Asian flavors like soy sauce, but this dish uses bold-flavored pesto for an interesting Italian twist. Serve it over rice or pasta.

Basic Garlic and Oil Sauce for Perfect Pasta (Rachael Ray)

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:11:53 -0400

If you like pasta, you're going to LOVE this recipe from Everyday With Rachael Ray's magazine (Oct '09). She has a "secret ingredient" that adds an unexpected zest to the ordinary ingredients: anchovies. She notes in her recipe that " even if you think you don't like anchovies, you should try this recipe--it'll change your mind." Further, she points out that "once you heat anchovies, they stop tasting like fish and start tasting more like salted nuts." So: try it, you'll like it! If you must, don't say anything to the diners--and ask them if they like it, before you reveal the "secret ingredient." -- posted by Debber

Leek and Pepper Omelette

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:00:30 -0400

I found this recipe in Janet Wright's book "The top 100 health tips", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Janet says "Eating the right meal within an hour or two after excercise could make the biggest difference you've noticed yet. That's the time when your body needs - and most effectively uses - food to turn your effort into stronger muscles and increased energy levels. It's also when you burn fat most effectively. Eggs are a concentrated source of muscle-building amino acids and other body-building nutrients. They're also rich in vitamin K, which helps to heal bruises and other minor sports injuries. This vitamin works by ensuring that blood is able to clot normally, so it could also reduce the danger of blood clots in arteries." The original recipe called for groundnut oil, but I think butter would work just fine - or any other oil you have on hand. This would make a nice breakfast for an extremely hungry person, or could be shared among a few people. If you're just making it for yourself, you might want to halve it. I haven't tried this recipe yet. -- posted by TALIA #3

Pakistani Style Bhindi Ka Salan (Okra/Ladyfinger Curry)

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:57:55 -0500

Back in the days when I was a child every time my mother made this dish it was considered a treat among me & my siblings. Besides potatoes & peas, okra/ladyfinger is another all time favorite vegetable among the Pakistani population. It is usually served with roti/chapatti & yogurt or sometimes with Masoor Dal (lentil) here is the recipe of a basic okra curry that was passed down from my grandmother to my mom & down to me. Its the tomatoes that give it a different taste compared to the other recipes posted so far. Note if you want to make "Bhindi Gosht" (Okra curry with mutton) after frying the onions add mutton, let it cook on medium low heat for 20 minutes, then follow the rest of the recipe. You can also add 1/2 cup water to make it a little saucy. -- posted by Bint e Naeem

Vegan Potatoes

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 15:07:33 -0500

A simple recipe for people who are vegetarian and/or transitioning to vegan. Theres not a lot of vegan recipes on here, so I decided to post it. It's something simple that's a good thing to have for lunch or even as a side dish. It gives a lot of nutrients and you really cant taste them in with the potatoes, for those of you who are picky eaters like me. I left his really open, I put in peppers and mushrooms, but this recipe is very easy to turn into a "Clear Your Kitchen Of Unwanted Or About To Spoil Veggies" recipe. And it's good because it's healthy, filling, and uses no meat and or animal products. Enjoy. -- posted by Mariah Me
