Looking for Stir-Fry Recipes

[Ari]

I'm looking for some fast and easy (as well as healthy) stir-fry recipes. The hubby and I are eating more healthy foods and using our wok instead of our deep fryer. Does anyone have any recipes to share?

Thanks,

Ari

Serves: 4

Preparation/cooking time: 20 minutes

Tip: If you like spicy food, you could add 1-2 chopped fresh chillies to the stir-fry mixture, or simply serve the dish with a little hot chilli sauce separately.



227g/8oz dry linguine
Fry Light, for spraying
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 carrot, cut into really thin strips
113g/4 oz chestnut or shiitake mushrooms, sliced
113g/4 oz small broccoli florets
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
squeeze of lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons boiling water
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon freshly chopped coriander



1. Cook the linguine in a large saucepan of boiling lightly salted water according to the packet instructions. When cooked and tender, drain well.

2. Meanwhile, spray a wok or deep frying pan with Fry Light and place over a medium to high heat. Add the peppers, carrot, mushrooms and broccoli, and stir-fry briskly for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain some crispness.

3. Stir in the soy and oyster sauces, lemon juice and boiling water. As the liquid evaporates, season to taste and add the drained linguine. Toss lightly to coat it with the vegetable mixture.

4. Serve immediately on warm plates and sprinkle with chopped coriander.

hope this helps a little

Usually I don't use recipes for stir fry, I just buy fresh seasonal vegetables and keep a few different sauces in the fridge (teriyaki, hoison, etc.) But I do have an old Americanized sukiyaki recipe from my Betty Crocker cookbook that has been a family favorite for years, and I've eliminated some of the unhealthy ingredients from it to make it work for me now.

SUE'S SUKIYAKI

1 lb. steak*
1/3 C soy sauce
2 packets of Splenda
2 T vegetable oil
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
1/2 lb mushrooms, thinly sliced
8 green onions, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 medium stalks celery, cut into diagonal 1/2 inch slices
1 can (8.5 oz) bamboo shoots, drained
3 C fresh spinach, either baby spinach or torn up larger leaves
2 C hot cooked brown rice

*How you treat the steak depends upon what kind of steak you buy. If you buy something less expensive and less tender such as round steak, then cut up the steak into strips and marinate it for at least two hours in the soy sauce and Splenda. If you buy more expensive steak, such as tenderloin, then you can eliminate the marinating step. You'll use the soy sauce and Splenda later on in the recipe instead of marinating.

If you marinated the beef, drain it and reserve the marinade.

Cook and stir beef in oil in skillet or wok over medium-high heat until brown. Push beef to side. Stir in reserved marinade (or the soy sauce and Splenda, if you didn't marinate) and the beef broth. Arrange the mushrooms, onions, celery and bamboo shoots in separate parts of the wok. Cover and simmer until the beef is tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the spinach. Cover and simmer another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with rice.

4 servings

P.S. This is a really attractive dish, besides being healthy, because you have the veggies set out separately around the wok. So bring the whole wok right to the table for serving.

I use a pretty simple combo when I make my stirfry.

When making a meal just for myself:
1/2 green pepper chopped up
1/2 red pepper chopped up
5 chopped mushrooms
1 cup brocolli
some green beans
4 tbsp light Italian dressing

Voila!!

I use the dressing because it only has 5 cals per tbsp, no fat, no carbs etc...it's way better to use than oils...but if you do use an oil, you should stick to olive oil.
