HOW TO CUT VEGETABLES FOR STIR FRY RECIPES

Steps:

• In a bowl combine all the ingredients for a sauce: the corn starch, sugar, minced ginger and garlic, red chili flakes and soy sauce.
• Divide the broccoli into florets, if florets are big cut into smaller pieces. Cut the carrot across into thin, bell pepper into large strips, mushrooms into slices, mince the ginger and garlic.
• Heat a pan over high heat with 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, add the carrot and fry stirring constantly for 2 minutes over medium heat.
• Add the broccoli into the pan and fry for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.
• Add the mushrooms and fry stirring neatly for a minute over medium heat.
• Add the bell pepper into the pan and fry stirring for another 3 minutes over medium heat.
• Add the prepared sauce, reduce the heat to low and simmer for a minute stirring.

Steps:

• The first step to cook stir fry vegetables in a wok is to wash all vegetables except the onions and cut into thin strips. Remember not to dice the vegetables, to follow the traditional recipe make thin and long strips.
• Then pour a little olive oil in the wok and, when hot, add the carrots and onions first; sauté for a few minutes until you see the onion turn golden brown.
• When the onion is golden, add to wok the remaining vegetables selected. Sauté all ingredients over medium heat and keep stirring them for even cooking and so they don't stick to the wok. Note that you should not cook them for too long, just enough so that they're slightly cooked but without becoming soft.
• When the vegetables are cooked to your liking, it is time to add the sauce you like to dress your vegetables: either soy sauce, oyster sauce or sweet and sour sauce. Mix it all for a while so the sauce soaks in well and then remove from heat.
• If you've decided to accompany the dish with the rice, you can add all the ingredients to the previously cooked rice and that's it!Now you know how to cook vegetables in a wok, a healthy and low calorie dish that is perfect to eat at any time of day. If you are going to eat it in the morning, the tradition is to accompany the wok with a handful of boiled rice or grilled chicken. Enjoy!
