I noticed I had some meat in the back of my freezer and some vegetables that needed to be used up. With so many ingredients I decided to make a stir fry. Stir fry is so versatile because you can use whatever protein and vegetables you have in your fridge.
Steps:
1. Slice your meat up super thin. Tenderize your steak by mixing it with 1/2 tsp bicarb soda, a little Chinese cooking wine and soy sauce 2. Slice up your vegetables super thin so they cook quickly 3. If using vegetables such as broccoli, blanch these a few minutes first 4. Make stir-fry sauce. I used a recipe from recipe tin eats https://www.recipetineats.com/real-chinese-purpose-stir-fry-sauce/ 5. 1/2 cup light soy sauce ▢ 1/2 cup oyster sauce ▢ 1/4 cup Chinese wine (or dry sherry) ▢ 1/4 cup cornstarch / cornflour ▢ 1 tbsp sugar ▢ 2 tbsp sesame oil , toasted ▢ 1 tsp ground white pepper (I sometimes use 1 tbsp, I like the spiciness!) Instructions Combine ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. Store in fridge and shake before use 6. Heat wok on HIGH until smoking. Add some oil and heat 7. Add the protein, fry until browned 8. Add onion, garlic and ginger and fry for a few minutes 9. Add vegetables that will take a little while to cook such as carrot and fry a few minutes 10. Add the rest of the vegetables and fry a few minutes 11. Add noodles (if using) I used low cal noodles i had in my pantry 12. Add the stir fry sauce and allow to thicken 13. Serve and Enjoy!
