Stir Fried Vegetables With Hoisin Food

STIR FRY OF BEEF AND VEGETABLES WITH HOISIN

Steps:

• 1. Trim any excess fat from the steak. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into 1/4 inch thick strips.
• 2. Combine the soy sauce and the next 6 ingredients in a large bowl; add steak, and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours; drain, reserving the marinade. Set the steak and the marinade aside.
• 3. Wash the snow peas; trim ends, and remove the strings. Set aside.
• 4. Pour 1 tablespoon oil around the top of a preheated wok or large skillet, coating the sides. Heat at medium-high (375) for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli and carrot, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the reserved snow peas and green onions, and stir fry 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the wok; set aside, and keep warm.
• 5. Pour 1 tablespoon oil into the wok; add half of the reserved steak, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Remove steak from the wok; set aside, and keep warm. Pour the remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the wok; add the remaining reserved steak and stir-fry 2 minutes. Return steak, marinade, and vegetables to the wok.
• 6. Combine the cornstarch and water; stir well. Add to the steak mixture, and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the mixture is thickened. Stir in the cashews. Serve over rice.

HOISIN SALMON FILLETS WITH STIR FRY VEGETABLES

Steps:

• I like to be able to eat the garlic once fish is cooked. As fish cooking time is short it does not cook. So I lightly fry sliced garlic on both sides to take the bite out of it. I then place it on fish fillets, I allow one garlic clove for each fillet. If you don't want to eat the garlic and just use for flavour, place sliced garlic directly onto fillets but discard once fish is cooked.
• Add ginger to fillets about a 1/4 teaspoon each fillet. Pour hoisin sauce over and sprinkle with chopped onions. Place the sprigs of parsley on top.
• Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes (depending on thickness of fillet, mine were quite thick, but if they are thin it could be as quick as 10 minutes) cook until fish flakes easily. Discard parsley sprigs.
• For the stir fry.
• Heat some olive oil in a large fry pan or wok. Add onion and cook until onion softens.
• Add the carrot, pepper, soy sauce, sherry, water, chicken stock and sugar, stir fry 2-3 minutes. Add snow peas and sprouts and stir fry until vegetables are just tender.
• To serve place fillet on plate drizzle with hoisin sauce from pan and serve with stir fry veg on the side.
• The great thing with a stir fry is you can use just about any vegetables you have in your fridge. I have listed the above veg but you can use whatever you want, this just happened to be what I had and wanted to use up.

STIR-FRIED ZUCCHINI WITH HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle with salt, set aside for 10 mins.
• Blot the zucchini quarters dry with paper towels.
• Cut quarters into 2 inch lengths.
• Mix soy sauce, hoisin, sherry and sesame oil in a small bowl.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over med-high heat for 1 min.
• Pour in canola/peanut oil; when oil starts to shimmer and ripple (very hot), add zucchini.
• Saute until zucchini browns and softens slightly (don't overcook- it might turn mushy), about 4 mins.
• Add garlic and chilli flakes, saute for about 15 sec.
• Add the sauce mixture, stir and cook just long enough for liquid to reduce and coat the zucchini (about 20 sec).
• Remove from wok, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.

STIR-FRIED BEEF WITH HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger in a shallow dish. Add the steak and leave to marinate for about 20 minutes (or longer, if you have time).
• Heat a large heavy-based frying pan or wok, add the sesame seeds and toast over a high heat, stirring, for a few minutes until golden. Tip on to a plate.
• When ready to cook, heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok until hot. Add the steak with the marinade and stir fry for 3-4 minutes over a high heat until lightly browned. Remove, using a slotted spoon, on to a plate, leaving the juices in the pan.
• Toss the carrots in the pan and stir fry for a few minutes, then add the mangetout and cook for a further 2 minutes.

HOISIN BARBECUED GAME HENS WITH STIR FRIED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Remove neck and giblets from hens and rinse them and pat dry. Halve hens by cutting firmly through the breast and backbone with a sharp knife. Pound each half with the palm of your hand to flatten the hens.
• Marinade:.
• In a medium saute pan or skillet, combine all marinade ingredients and simmer 7-8 minutes. Cool in refrigerator or freezer. In a large, resealable plastic bag, marinate hens for 2-3 hours. Remove hens from marinade; reserve marinade.
• Prepare a charcoal fire. When coals are very hot but not flaming, spearate them to the sides of the grill so the hens can cook in the middle by indirect heat. The coals should be hot enough to cook for one hour, but not so hot as to burn the honey in the marinade. For a gas grill, heat grill and turn flames to low.
• Place hens on grill skin side down and cook, covered, about 25 minutes, basting with marinade.
• Turn and continue to cook and baste for 20-25 minutes, or till juices run clear (I don't think mine took quite that long).
• Remove from grill and keep warm.
• In a large saute pan or wok, heat oil over high heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger, carrots, celery, peppers, bok choy and five spice powder.
• Stir fry for 3-4 minutes, tossing constantly.
• Add soy sauce, stock and brown sugar and continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes more. Do not overcook.
• To serve, divide vegetables evenly on plates and top with game hen halves.
• If you have marinade left over and want to use it drizzle over the dish, place marinade in a saucepan and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
