Chinese Stir-Fry
- 1 small onion
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 to 6 cups (1 to 1.5 L) loosely packed vegetable pieces (see Notes)
- 3/5 cup/175 mL (or 6 oz/175 g) raw lean red meat, chicken or fish, thinly sliced (see Notes)
- 1 packet (4.5 g) reduced-salt chicken or beef bouillon mix
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) water
- 2 tsp (10 mL) cornstarch
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) cold water
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground ginger
- .
- Chop up or slice your onion, garlic and 4 cups (1 L) of vegetables.
- I usually put in one bowl the vegetables that need the most cooking, such as carrots and broccoli.
- In a second bowl I put the vegetables that need less cooking, such as bean sprouts.
- Put the bowls of vegetables to the side.
- Place the raw meat (or other protein choice) in your cold wok or frying pan.
- Sprinkle the bouillon mix on your meat and stir.
- Add 2 tablespoons (25 mL) of water.
- Heat up your wok or frying pan and cook for about 3 minutes.
- If you are using cooked leftover meat instead of raw meat, it doesnt need to be cooked first.
- Add the onions, garlic and first bowl of vegetables.
- Stir at high heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until cooked.
- Now add the second bowl of vegetables.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, 1/4 cup (50 mL) of cold water, soy sauce and ginger.
- Add this to your wok.
- Cook for another minute or two.
