SPICY TURKEY AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir in the rice, cover and boil until tender, about 18 minutes; drain well and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Toss the green beans, 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil and the sugar on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, stirring once, until the beans are tender and charred, about 8 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 minutes. Add the garlic, pickle and chile paste and cook until the garlic is slightly golden, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk the chicken broth, soy sauce, sherry and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the green beans to the skillet with the turkey mixture and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Serve with the rice.

SPICY TOFU AND GREEN BEAN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Cook the rice as the label directs. Set aside and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, cut the tofu into 24 pieces and gently press between paper towels to remove the excess liquid; set aside 5 minutes to drain. Put the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water. Cover and microwave until bright green and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then drain. Combine the Sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a plate. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the skillet over high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, stirring once or twice, until lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 30 seconds. Return the tofu to the skillet along with the Sriracha mixture and cook, stirring, until well coated, about 30 more seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in the torn basil.

• While letting the bacon cool, prepare the beans by snipping off the ends and cutting them into 2- to 3-inch lengths. Prepare the other ingredients.
• Remove bacon and cut it into small pieces. We follow the Asian method here by using a pair of clean scissors-makes the job quick and easy!
• With half the bacon fat still in the wok/pan, place over medium-high heat. Add the bacon pieces, shallot/onion, and garlic, plus 1 to 2 tablespoons water-just enough to get a good sizzle. Stir-fry until garlic is fragrant (1 minute).
• Add the beans, plus the red pepper (if using) and chili. If needed, also add a little more water to keep the ingredients frying nicely (1 to 2 tablespoons). Stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the stir-fry sauce, stirring well, then cover with a lid and let cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• For this dish, it is best if the beans are chewy rather than soft. Try one-if it's not tender enough, continue stir-frying another 1 to 2 minutes.
• Taste-test the stir-fry for flavor, keeping in mind that this dish should taste primarily salty and spicy (the saltiness is balanced out when served with plain rice). We usually add 1 more tablespoon fish sauce as well as another sprinkling of fresh or dried chili. If it's too salty for your taste, add a squeeze of lime juice.
• Serve with plenty of plain rice and ENJOY the strong flavors of this dish!
