Stir Fry Vegetables

Ingredients:

  • Vegetables: bak choy, onion, green peppers, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini and broccoli.
  • Oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Sriracha sause (found in Asian stores)
  • Vegetarian stir fry sauce (found in the "Asian/Ethnic" aisle at any major grocery store)
Preparation:

Cut vegetables in one inch size. 







Heat a wok (HOT).


Add olive oil and flash fry onions.


Until they are brown.


If you are adding green peppers, brown them together with onions.


Then add the vegetables in order: those that take longer to cook (i.e. carrot)first, to those that take less time to cook (i.e. bak choy) last, etc ...


Add stir fry, soy, and sriracha sauces to taste. 




Stir fry until veggies are somewhat brown, but not over cooked.







Remove them from wok immediately to avoid over cooking.


Enjoy with steamed or fried rice (see recipes).

Veggie Burgers + Fries

These are some nice Trader Joe's masala burgers. You need the usual burger ingredients - buns, onion, cheese (pepper jack or other) tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, pickle, ketchup. The frozen fries you can just bake in a toaster oven.






Toast the burger patties and buns and stack 'em up!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Start with about 1lb chicken. We like the clean breast and you can pick your choice cut. Boil the chicken in water until its cooked.





Now brown the chicken in a pan with some butter - for best taste! Then cut into smaller pieces so the masala can seep in.









Mix the masala in plain yogurt and let it sit for few minutes. Then cook to a boil, add the chicken and let it simmer for 5mins. Serve with roti!
