Szechuan Anything

One thing I enjoy about stir fry meals is that they are so simple. It can be stagnating if you are just tossing a little soy sauce and garlic into your stir fry. Try spicing things up a bit when with this simple recipe for Szechuan sauce. It compliments chicken, fish, beef, and pork as well as most vegetables. (I am not a fan of Szechuan sauce with tomatoes.) The following steps are the easiest way to make a Szechuan stir fry meal with the least amount of mess!

Szechuan Anything

·         Meat, Fish, or Poultry to feed family

·         Vegetables of choosing, chopped (quantity determined by you)

·         1 TBSP sesame, peanut, or vegetable oil

·         4 cloves garlic, minced

·         5 TBSP low-sodium soy sauce

·         1 1/2 tablespoons rice wine, white wine vinegar, or cooking sherry

·         1/4 cup water

·         1 TBSP brown sugar  

·         2 tsps Asian seasoning or cayenne pepper

·         2 tsps Chinese 5 Spice

1.      Mix all ingredients from oil through Chinese 5 Spice in a glass rectangular baking pan. Place meat, fish, or poultry in mix to marinade for 1 hr. Cover and turn once. (Do not discard mix)

2.      Heat electric skillet to 300 degrees. Place meat in Skillet. Place vegetables in sauce mix in glass pan.

3.      Turn meat after 3 minutes. Stir veggies in glass pan. After 3 more minutes remove meat to cutting board.

4.      Using slotted spoon, remove vegetables from mix and place in skillet.

5.      Slice meat into strips. Return to skillet.

6.      Cook until meat is cooked through and vegetables are desired doneness.

This is a Delicious and Simple meal. A bowl of this stir fry is great alone, and more filling when served over hot steamed rice.

Buono Appetito!
