Fall Stir Fry With Mashed Potatoes Food

SWEET N SOUR SIRLOIN STIR-FRY WITH RANCH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pop the meat in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up for slicing.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain. Halve the steak lengthwise then very thinly slice the meat. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over high heat. When oil wafts smoke and ripples, add the meat and stir-fry until caramelized 3 minutes. Add peppers and stir-fry 2 minutes then add in scallions and edamame for 2 minutes more. Stir together the sugar, soy, mustard and ketchup and pour over stir-fry the last minute of cooking. Season, to taste, if necessary. Mash potatoes with buttermilk, salt and pepper, hot sauce, parsley, dill, chives, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with stir-fry on top!;

FALL STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the soy sauce in a bowl. Toss the pork in the mixture. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
• Mix together the hoisin, ginger, chili paste, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet (12- to 14-inch) over high heat and add the oil. Toss the pork with the cornstarch to coat.
• Add the pork to the skillet in small batches and cook, stirring infrequently to ensure good browning and crispness, until the pork is barely cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on wire-racked baking sheet.
• Add the sprouts, squash and scallions to the hot skillet and stir-fry until the veggies are crisp-tender and have developed good caramelization, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pork back and cook 1 minute. Add the hoisin mixture and simmer for an additional 1 minute. Add the pears and toss to coat. Remove from the heat.
• Very thinly slice the reserved scallion tops on the bias and toss them in with the sesame seeds to garnish.

HOT AND NUMBING STIR-FRIED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 2 inches. Season heavily with salt. (The water should taste like very salty seawater once the salt has dissolved.) Place over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until there's no resistance when a knife or cake tester is poked through the largest potato, about 10 minutes after they come to a boil. Drain potatoes and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to air-dry.
• While the potatoes cook, make the spice blend: In a small bowl, shake the Sichuan peppercorns and discard any shiny black seeds, twigs or leaf fragments. Add the husks to a dry wok, along with the star anise, fennel seeds, white peppercorns and half the cumin seeds. Toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a small bowl to cool slightly. Return wok to heat and add remaining cumin seeds and the chiles. Toss and stir until very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a second small bowl.
• When cool, transfer the spice mixture in the first bowl, along with the 2 chiles from the second bowl to an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt, sugar and chicken bouillon. Grind to a fine powder and return to the empty bowl.
• Add the cumin seeds that toasted with the chiles to the spice grinder or the mortar (no need to clean it out) and pound or pulse until very coarsely ground. (There should be large, distinct pieces of cumin seeds.) Add half-ground cumin and the sesame seeds to the rest of the spice mixture and stir to incorporate.
• Stir-fry the potatoes: When potatoes are dry, heat 3 tablespoons oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Clear a small space in the center of the wok and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to it. Immediately add the garlic, scallions and spice mixture to the oil and stir until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in spices, about 15 seconds. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
