Vietnamese Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare chicken: Combine sesame oil, fish sauce, sugar, chile paste and pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken; marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• To prepare broth: Warm oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant and well mixed, about 2 minutes. Add water, sugar, oyster sauce and fish sauce; bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Pour through a fine strainer, discarding solids. Stir chile paste into broth; set aside. (You should have about 1 cup broth.).
• To prepare stir-fry: Combine vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet or wok; heat almost to the smoking point. Quickly add chicken; stir-fry until chicken is about half cooked. Add bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, basil and cilantro; cook until vegetables are almost tender. Add broth and bring to a boil, then add snow peas and broccoli. Cook just until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water; stir into the stir-fry mixture.
• Return to a boil and cook briefly until thickened.
• To serve: Spoon stir-fry over rice; garnish with lime and cilantro.

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, 4 cloves of garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl, and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef sirloin tip, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove the beef sirloin tip from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the beef. Cook and stir until the beef is evenly browned, and no longer pink. Place beef on a plate and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Stir in 2 cloves of garlic, green onion, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in green beans, beef broth, lime juice, basil, mint, red pepper flakes and pepper. Return beef sirloin to skillet and toss to combine. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro.

Steps:

• Flavor Step - Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and toss the pork strips in the marinade until they are well coated. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat 1-1/2 teaspoons of the oil in a wok or heavy skillet over the highest heat. Stir-fry the red bell peppers for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Remove the meat from the marinade, saving the marinade.
• Add the remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons oil and the meat to the pan and stir-fry until the strips are just cooked through and no longer pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the reserved marinade, the fish sauce, green onions or scallions, pineapple, and the peppers and cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sauce coats the pork, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spoon the meat and sauce into a bowl, sprinkle with the chopped mint, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of deep water to a boil and salt it lightly. Wash the greens thoroughly. Peel the garlic and ginger, finely chop the garlic, and shred the ginger into matchsticklike strips. Trim the green onions and cut each into two or three.
• Warm the oil in a shallow pan or wok. Toss the garlic, ginger, and green onions in the oil until deep gold, verging on being lightly browned and fragrant. Drop the greens, whole or shredded as you wish, into the boiling water. Leave for only a minute or so before draining. Pour the fish sauce in with the garlic and ginger-it will spit and sizzle-then toss with the greens and eat.
