INSTRUCTIONS
Heat wok over med-high heat, toss in first seven ingredients, (thru bell
pepper) along with a tablespoon or two of water. Stir fry constantly til
onion is becoming limp, then add zuchinni and bean sprouts. As zuchinni is
softening, add mushrooms, stirring continually (takes 6-10 minutes -
depending on how crisp you want the vegetables) The trick is to add the
quicker-cooking vegetables last, so they don't overcook.
Serve over rice, with soy sauce to taste.
A variation is to use the wok as a steamer: Heat wok as above, and toss
together all ingredients, along with about 1/2 cup of equal parts soy sauce
and water. Quickly stir for a minute or so, then push vegetables up onto
side of wok, and cover. When steam escapes from under cover, vegetables are
done... remove from heat, toss together into a large bowl; serve over rice.
Some of our favorite variations are:
Peas & Carrots Stir Fry -- use only snow peas and sliced carrots. Mushroom
& Onion Stir Fry -- use only onion slices and quartered mushrooms.
Occasionally, we'll add yakisoba noodles, and forego the rice.
A few notes about wok cooking: I use a hammered steel wok, which might make
the second method possible: the ingred. will stay up on the sides, away
from the very hot bottom, where the liquid is boiling. With a machine-made,
or electric wok, this may not be possible.
I use only water and a brush to clean the wok, never soap, as this will
cause sticking. When clean, I place the wok over heat source to dry, and
wipe the inside with about 1 tsp of olive oil, using a paper towel. Let
cool, and put away... the oil will prevent rusting, and is all the oil
required for your next cooking.
Now, having said all that, I would also second Elizabeth's suggestion, and
would welcome any one else's stir fry suggestions!
