Italian Stir-Fry

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 01:49:46 -0400

There is nothing Asian about this recipe in taste, only in the method of cooking. It is an easy to make main dish and interchangeable with any ingredients you would like. I don't remember where I found this recipe but it is a good change of pace. You can use fresh herbs instead of dried for more robust flavor. -- posted by Bushkie

Pad Thai sauce is not always available, especially in Mexico, so I'm posting this recipe because it includes homemade sauce. Pad Thai sauce has a special quality, it's salty, sour, sweet and spicy. The recipe comes from The Gourmet Cookbook however I've made a few revisions. -- posted by Galley Wench

Tenderizing Beef for Chinese Cooking

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:09:45 -0400

I have no idea where I got this recipe; I found it on a piece of paper among all my lose recipes. I added a dash of Accent to the marinade and let the meat marinade overnight. The beef came out tender, I used the beef to make beef and broccoli. I used sirloin steak sliced thin for my beef. The recipe calls for 1 pound of beef. I didn't include marinating time in the cooking time. -- posted by Mainely Debbie

Chinese Pork & Vegetable Stir-Fry

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:32:21 -0400

Everyone in the family loved it. I love the tang of the orange juice with the zip of the soy sauce. Do not use frozen vegetables you can't drain them well enough and they tend to get mushy. I used Pork Tenderloin for this recipe. Recipe can be found in Lipton Secrets Classic Recipes . If you want the veggies a little more tender then cook to your liking. -- posted by Proudmoms

Très Rapide French Summer Tarragon Chicken

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:47:20 -0400

A simple supper or luncheon recipe that can be whipped up in a trice! Organic chicken breasts that are diced and then sautéed with fresh tarragon and crème fraiche with just a hint of lemon juice! This can be made in less than 15 minutes from prep to plate, making it an ideal recipe for busy bees or couch potatoes! I love this served with a simple selection of salad leaves and herbs dressed with a classic French dressing. Do try to use fresh tarragon, I have not tried this with dried, but imagine that it will not be as zingy and fresh. This is not necessarily a summer recipe, but my tarragon is in season at the moment, the sun is out and therein a recipe name was born! Bon appétit! -- posted by French Tart

Vegan/Vegetarian Pf Chang's Mongolian Beef (Tofu)

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:54:00 -0400

If you love PF Chang's Mongolian Beef, you'll love this vegan version. I make it for veg and non-veg people, and everyone agrees it's fantastic. I use organic and fresh versions of all of the ingredients. It's just better that way! Also, I have a big family, so this recipe makes a lot of food. Make it like it is and save some for lunches (it keeps well), or just make half the recipe if you don't want leftovers. -- posted by Mountain Bike Mom

Spicy Sausage Rice

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:09:00 -0400

I found this little gem on the Love Food Hate Waste website, tried it at home and realized how great it is! The taste is amazing, and you can alter how spicy it is by what type of salsa you add. This recipe is also great for families, if you want to use up some of your leftover sausages! Thanks, Love Food Hate Waste! NOTE: For the stock, I use whatever flavor stock that my sausages are, beef/chicken etc. If you aren't into too much of a spicy kick, try mild salsa. Remember, that stock is the stock powder + water, not just the powder. -- posted by Country Girl825

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. I used butter instead of oil to give it a creamier, almost cheesy taste that still allows it to maintain its Eastern background, but with an Italian perk. It can easily be doubled & you can add tofu for more protein & bell peppers for more of a zip. -- posted by SamiBTX

Best Ever Fried Rice

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 02:00:11 -0400

This recipe comes from Cooking Light, September 2005 and is without a doubt the best fried rice I have ever tasted. Not only great tasting but very easy to make as well. I have modified the original recipe slightly to reflect our preferences for oil, meat, veggies etc. The original recipe calls for shredded lettuce as an ingredient however I have never tried it this way. I will list it as an optional ingredient. The sesame oil is the secret ingredient as far as I am concerned!! Don't be shy, give it a try!! -- posted by NanuqsMom

Baby Bok Choy - Authentic Chinese Recipe

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:17:14 -0400

My mother taught me this basic technique for several vegetables. It can be used also with broccoli and gai lan for example. The result is a crisper texture at the end. The only unauthentic part of the recipe is using garlic salt instead of fresh garlic (but you can easily substitute back!) -- posted by MyraMedstudent

Fried Rice With Bacon (Oriental Style)

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:24:47 -0400

One of my fondest memories growing up is the reaction my best friend had about my mom's fried rice. She was so addicted to it she would randomly request that mom make some. I have been craving it lately but knowing that it needs to be done with "yesterday's" leftover rice gets me every time. (If fresh rice is used it will stick together in a mushy mess instead of separating out into individual dry pieces.) Well, as luck would have it I spaced when making rice a few nights ago & instead of loading the rice cooker with 2 cups rice & 4 cups water I put in 4 cups of both! So I added another 4 cups of water & wow... that was a lot of leftover rice! So, last night I combined what I could remember of mom's fried rice with what I had on hand & my family loved it. We ate this for a main meal but usually it's served as a side. The first bite I took really did take me back 25 years! I hope you enjoy it too! :) -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 12:48:34 -0400

This recipe was my first "Mushroom Monday Challenge" dinner. I love stir-fries, and this one comes together in a snap. You can always use any vegetables that you may have on hand if you are short what's listed in the ingredients. Red or green peppers could be used if you don't have asparagus, even a little sliced carrot would be delicious. -- posted by BrittanyS

Red Coconut Chicken Curry

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:40 -0400

This dish can be quite hot and spicy depending on the brand of curry paste used. the variety in the pouch (instead of the jar or can) tend to be milder. For those sensitive to spicy food, reduce the curry paste to 2 teaspoons. In a pinch, use mild Indian curry paste. Serve over rice. From Canadian Living Magazine. -- posted by daisygrl64

Made this to get rid of most leftover veggies and turned out pretty good. This is a light meal that can be made with relative ease. It's healthy and keeps very well. Also very easy to eat :) It takes a little bit of attention. But not too much. A wok is the best tool to make this with but a large frying pan would work. -- posted by Inebriated Chef

Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry (With Variations)

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:27:36 -0400

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

Steak and Pesto Stir- Fry

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 19:13:28 -0400

Have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes with this quick and satisfying dish. Using frozen vegetables can make the process even faster. 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.

Dan Dan Mian - Sichuan Spicy Noodles

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:38:08 -0400

I wouldn't classify it as burning, but it was pretty tasty! The original recipe from here: http://appetiteforchina.com/recipes/dan-dan-mian-sichuan-spicy-noodles calls for waaaay too much salt. On top of the salt in the soy sauce and chicken stock, it says to add 3 whole teaspoons. I only added 2 and if I make it again, I'll only put in 1/2tsp. The recipe below reflects this. -- posted by Andrew Mollmann

This is so easy to make and tastes amazing on any stir fry. I usually use Chicken and loads of veggies, but pork or beef or even seafood would be great as well. The measurement are very approximate, as I NEVER measure when I make this. Just taste it as you go and adjust as you wish! You may need to make more or less of the sauce depending on the size of your stir fry. The servings are approximate based on my family. -- posted by Bexxx

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

Boombambam Fried Rice!

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:17:19 -0500

This recipe is one of the first recipes I learned to make. When I was little, my mother would make fried rice like once a week and apparently I sort of realized/figured out how she made it as I grew older. I usually use whatever i have in my kitchen... Random veggies, random poultry, random everything! ENJOY! (: I normally use shrimp, ham, chicken, peas, corn, carrots, peppers, eggs, and etc. -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

Basil Stir Fry

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:07:29 -0500

Great fresh veggie stir fry with lots of flexibility, and lightly flavored without heavy sauce. I have written in the ingredients I used and added "or" ingredients per the original recipe. Feel free to use what you have on hand, this recipe seems to handle substitutions really well. Modified from RecipeKey.com based on my pantry contents! Great tool, wish RecipeZaar had one. Had to copy this here so I can have it accessible. -- posted by @ home in SF Bay

Abc's Sauteed Apple, Brussels Sprouts and Cabbage

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 08:16:13 -0500

A healthy side nicely seasoned with onion, garlic, nutmeg and parsley. This side is rich in nutrition and fiber, cabbage is an absolutely phenomenal source of Vitamin C also Vitamin A, E and B, rich in iron and sulfur. This is a good thing to add to your diet if trying to lower blood cholesterol. Just skip the butter! -- posted by ~Rita~

Meguin's Yakisoba

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:57:03 -0500

This is a delicious comfort food, though it is definitely not traditional. The tonkatsu sauce is also good with fried chicken (especially chicken katsu) and fries. I also use it in my yakisoba. Hold the meat, and you have a delicious side dish. If you want to make it vegetarian, use a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. This is also good with extra-firm tofu. -- posted by Meguin

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

Basil Beef Fried Rice

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:51:53 -0500

This recipe is from a local Thai cooking class I took. The instructor tried to adapt the traditional recipe to use locally-available ingredients. This is delicious - different than any other fried rice we've had before. The Thai basil (I found it in an Asian grocery store in the city) really makes a difference. -- posted by flowers22
