Broccoli 'n Red Peppers Stir Fried

"The key to a good stir fry is to have the veggies piping hot but still crisp. Cook this to your liking in terms of crispness. If you like a thicker sauce add 2 tsp of cornstarch to the stock. Great with Chicken. If you wish this suitable for vegetarrian diets use veggie stock in place of the chicken stock I have made this again in 2009. I modified the recipe by omitting the sesame seeds, used no oil just a light spray of "no oil." Not caring for a lot of sauce cut out the stock and used 4 tbsp of vermouth with 3 tbsp light soy - It worked."

  1. I upped the mushrooms to a full pound, used vegetable stock instead of chicken and had a vegan's delight. I served this with shell pasta, and all the adults at the table (4) loved it. The 8 children turned their noses up at it, but what do they know... I think you have to be over 18 to really appreciate broccoli ;-) Their loss, more for me!
     
  2. I cooked this for a second time last night, doubled the amount of sauce & served over bow tie pasta. My grandaughter loved it! Would you believe that broccoli is her favourite vegetable - and she's only 5 years old!!
     
  3. This was great
     
  4. I was literally down to the last few vegetables in my fridge so I searched for red pepper recipes and found this brilliant recipe! I didn't have broccoli but had baby courgettes and it worked nicely - my husband loved it too, the colours were vibrant, the vegetables crisp and the flavours were subtle. I didn't use soy sauce or sesame seeds - just a bit of salt to finish - it was lovely. Thank you for the recipe, it's good to know that even with an almost empty fridge, brilliant tasting food can be made.
     
  5. Very good! Didn't have any mushrooms. Used green onion I had on hand instead of regular onion. Did not discard ginger and garlic. Served with Szechuan Shrimp (#25596). Quick and simply meal.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
