Summer Garden Stir-Fry
I are starting to harvest produce from the garden plantings I put down in November. It's so novel to just walk outside, look at the plants and work out what I will have for dinner.
My starting ingredients:
The zucchini, squash and snow peas are from my garden. The green beans are from my neighbour's garden. I traded some snow peas for the beans.
The broccollini and ginger are store-bought.
You'll also need 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 2 tablespoon soya sauce; and a little water.
I was too lazy to pull out the wok; so I just used a fry pan instead.
Place the stems of the broccolini and the beans in a hot pan with the ginger and some oil.
Toss for a few minutes and then add the broccolini florets.
After tossing for a few more minutes, add the rest of the vegetables with a little water. You just need enough water to add some steam to the pan.
Quickly toss all the vegetables for a few more minutes. You can cook them until they are right/soft enough for your tastes. I like them with a bit of bite to them; so it really is just a couple of minutes.
Add the oyster and soya sauce to the pan and mix everything together.
Stir Fry Vegetables!
We served it with lettuce from the garden.
And because DS needs more protein than DH, I also cooked some beef with green beans and ginger. Marinade the beef strips in 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and a dash of soya sauce, 1 tablespoon flour and the sliced ginger for at least a hour.
Cook in a hot pan until the beef is cooked and then add the green beans and a splash of water. Allow to simmer down for a few more minutes.
My dinner!
