STIR FRY'S; QUICK DINNERS
Everyone has a different idea about what they want in their stir fry's & there are a couple of things on my blog that i make in a Wok, so i figured i'd make one Special recipe post about them in general and i'd give you my little rules. Follow them and u'll be just fine.
I am not sure how the Wok works differently from other pots and pans but i know there's a difference. It gives you even heat all through and it has some depth to it. I guess it is like cooking in a deeper & wider frying pan in some ways.
MY LITTLE WOK/stir fry RULES
* Every spice or sauce that you would like in your stir fry goes in first (Depending on what i want to make, my choices range from Musts: salt, black pepper, some oil to Maybe's: Ginger, garlic, dry garlic sauce, teriyaki, soy sauce, & cooking wine)
*Veggies go in according to the rate at which they get soft when cooked, starting with the ones that take longer to cook. (e.g in the broccoli dish, i would put my broccoli in last. & in the second plate, i'll put my carrots in first. )
*If you are using a protein, say steak or ground beef or fish or chicken, eggs too... they go in right after the sauces and spices. That way, your sauce and protein will evenly coat the veggies when they go in.
MY WOKS
In this dish. : Broccoli, pasta, ground beef, salt, pepper, a little bit of soy, 1tablespoon of cream, onions chopped, 1 tablespoon of tomatoes, and fresh thyme. (boiled the pasta first).
In this dish : Mushrooms, carrots, Green peppers, chicken breast, CILANTRO(chopped, makes a huge difference in flavor), salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of oil(with this combination you can skip on the oil and use a little butter for non stick). (Served with rice.)
