Asian Vegetable Sauté

DateWednesday, September 1, 2010 at 04:00AM

After our China visit a few of years ago, I realized how fond I was of their vegetable dishes.  It was interesting how some simple ingredients cooked with a few seasonings can be so delicious.  Prepared this way, vegetables can take on a whole new look and offer a welcome change in flavors. 

I recently visited a very large Asian ranch market here.  They have everything from fresh produce to meats, bakery products and dry goods as well as everything you’d ever want from a frozen food section.  Their selection is amazing and the choices unlimited.  It’s quite an interesting experience to roam through the store and check out all the imported foods. 

I spoke with one of the clerks in the vegetable area and he told me about seasonings commonly used in Chinese vegetable dishes.  After making my selection, I was anxious to get home to begin cooking.  I had no idea how it would turn out and was very pleased with the results.  It tasted delicious and was amazingly close to the one we had in China. 

I served it as a side dish, but it could easily be enjoyed as an entrée over rice or noodles.  I used a few vegetables, but after making it I realized many more could be included.  If you like Chinese, I think you’ll like this one too.  

Asian Vegetable Sauté

 

3 heads baby bok choy, chopped

½ white onion, roughly chopped

2 C fresh small mushrooms, sliced

10 fresh green beans, cut in pieces

½  red pepper, sliced

½ C fresh cilantro, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, sliced

2 T vegetable oil

 

For the sauce:

½ C chicken stock

¼ C soy sauce

1 T sesame oil

2 T fish sauce

2 T honey

1 t Mongolian hot pepper oil

¼ C sherry wine

2 T cornstarch, dissolved in some cold water

Freshly ground black pepper

 

Chop all the vegetables and set aside.  Combine the sauce ingredients and blend well. 

In a large skillet—or wok—heat the oil.  Add the garlic and onion and quickly sauté a couple of minutes first.  Toss in the rest of the vegetables and stir to combine them with the onion mixture.  Pour in the sauce.  Cover and cook a few minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.  Season to taste. 

Get out your chopsticks.  Your dinner is ready. 

 

Enjoy!

The Louis Vuitton handbags started almost seventy years ago in a small family run workshop. it is a truly American born company.the founders artfully designed leather goods and their skills passed down from generations to generation.Nowadays, are becoming more and more popular all over the world.there are made up of super quality and so strong,also the belt is soft enough for you to carry no matter where you are. it being a flatbed scanner, the negative's tendency to curl and flap - all that. I get files with 16 bit per channel. Louis Vuitton Luggage The end of banding and washed out skies.The downside is that this machine needs some awkward checking and setting of the focus distance - and even with that you have to check and double check each scan for focus, due to the film holder, The scans from Tolis are much sharper. Still good scans are done for the Epson's money, if I had the cash,replica Louis Vuitton Wallets I'd have gone for a dedicated film scanner.For scanning software I forked out some more money for Vuescan,gucci briefcases a 3rd party software that works with almost all scanners and does a great job.</p>

Yeah, this show just got better and better as the season went on. It started out pretty campy, but as they built the plot, it got more interesting and we just got sucked in. The humor was spot on in many places, too.
