VEGETARIAN THAI STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Combine all 'stir fry sauce' ingredients together in a cup or bowl. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Taste-test the sauce, keeping in mind that the first taste should be spicy-salty, followed by sweetness and the rich taste of the coconut milk. Adjust these flavors to suit your taste, adding more lime juice if too sweet or salty (note that it will be less salty when combined with the vegetables).
• Warm a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then add the shallot/onion, garlic, ginger, and chili. Stir-fry 1-2 minutes, then add the carrot, mushrooms, and cauliflower (if using). Also add 1/4 of the stir-fry sauce. Continue stir-frying 2-3 minutes.
• Add the broccoli and red pepper plus up to 1/2 of remaining stir-fry sauce, enough to gently simmer vegetables in the sauce (about 2 minutes). Note: this is a 'saucy' stir-fry that is never dry - the sauce is meant to flavor the rice or noodles it is served with.
• Finally add the bok choy or Chinese cabbage. Add more of the stir-fry sauce as needed, enough to just cover vegetables in sauce. Simmer until bok choy or cabbage is cooked but still bright green with some crispness (2-3 minutes more).
• Remove from heat and do one last taste-test. If not salty enough, add a little more fish or soy sauce. If too salty or sweet, add another squeeze of lime juice. Add more sugar or chili if desired. Top with fresh basil and serve over Thai jasmine-scented rice. Or, to bring out the coconut flavor, serve with Thai Coconut Rice. Note: Any leftover sauce can be stored for 1 week in a covered container in your refrigerator for future stir-fries.

THAI-STYLE VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Place oil in wok or large skillet and turn fire over medium high heat; add garlic and cook until fragrance starts to release- do not burn.
• Add peas, carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and fish sauce.
• Steam-fry over heat until vegetables start to get tender, about 10-15 minutes (I forgot exactly how long, but I remember the peas were taking a bit of time).
• The fish sauce and the liquid exuded from the mushrooms should be plenty of liquid as it was for me.
• If not, add a tbsp.
• of water or fish sauce to the pan to finish cooking, but don't get too heavy or it won't have time to cook out.
• Add the sambal oelek, the basil and the lemongrass, the chilies, and stir well.
• Beware of the odors coming from the pan; the peppers may get you in the eyes.
• When the basil and lemongrass have wilted and heated through, add the peanut butter, which should have a mixable consistancy.
• Stir that in and heat through.
• Squeeze the lime over all, (watching out for seeds), mix well, and serve.
• Serve with rice.
