My Beef Stir fry This article will introduce a beef stir fry recipe that solely relies on heat to sear proteins and cook vegetables very quickly. In this dish, the combination of pungent and earthy chard is braced by garlic and sweet ginger that hardly requires any sauce but just heat and a squeeze of citrus to pull it all together nicely. This means it is very simple and fast to do therefore can be easily done in your own kitchens. The secret in stir frying is to have all the ingredients prepared and ready before you start cooking because stir frying is fast. Let us avoid overcooking the ingredients by putting too many of them in the skillet or wok at once, which will only result in steaming rather than stir frying the vegetables. This recipe allows you to choose your own vegetables from Tofu, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, hot peppers and ground chicken, bok choy and tomatoes with a garnishing of roasted cashew nuts. But the original recipe we have here can yield as much as six servings and is fitted for a family of six. Let us do the cooking then.
