Chinese Omelet With Stir Fried Vegetables In Spicy Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the spicy sauce except the corn (or safflower) oil, scallions, ginger root, and garlic. Heat the corn oil in a saute pan or wok. Add the scallions, ginger root and garlic and stir-fry over high heat, about 15 seconds, until fragrant. Add the combined sauce mixture and stir until thickened. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• To make the omelet, in a saute pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the corn (or safflower) oil until hot. Add the bell pepper and snow peas and toss lightly over high heat, about 30 seconds, adding some rice wine or sake if the mixture is very dry. Add the bean sprouts and toss briefly, about 10 seconds. Remove the mixture and let cool slightly, then fold into the beaten eggs.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned omelet pan or wok and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the corn oil. Heat until very hot. Add the eggmixture and let it set at the bottom while twirling the pan. When a thin crust begins to form, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed and lightly golden on the bottom. Using a spatula, carefully turn it over and cook until lightly golden and cooked through. (The omelet can be done ahead of time and kept warm in a 200-degree preheated oven.) When ready to serve, cut the omelet into wedges, spoon the sauce over them and sprinkle with the scallion greens.

Steps:

• In a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the rice, chicken, vegetable blend and teriyaki sauce until heated through. Remove from skillet and set aside., In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, water, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges)., As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, spoon rice mixture on one side; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate.

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, run it around the core of the lettuce, then gently pull it out. Remove any discolored outer layers of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to drain after gently shaking in a colander.
• In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, vegetarian stir-fry or oyster sauce, sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt. Season with pepper.
• Heat a large (12-inch) deep skillet on medium-high. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to lightly coat the pan, then add the ginger and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the lettuce and stir-fry for 2 minutes, until it starts to wilt. Pour the sauce over the lettuce and stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes. (Take care not to overcook, as you want your lettuce to retain some crunch.) Taste and season with salt, if needed. Place the lettuce (and all the pan juices) in a bowl and set aside. Once your skillet is cool enough to handle, rinse it out and dry.
• To the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the ¼ cup olive oil and sliced garlic. Stir constantly for 3 to 4 minutes until the garlic turns a pale golden brown. (Watch carefully! It burns quickly.) Remove the garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain; it will continue to brown and crisp as it cools.
• To the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat, add the eggs and cook untouched until whites are set, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, place a mound of rice in a bowl, top with lettuce, some pan juices, a fried egg, crispy garlic and a scatter of sesame seeds and scallions. Finish with a tiny drizzle of Maggi seasoning sauce, if using.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, chile paste, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, garlic, cornstarch, and ginger together in a bowl.
