Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup water
½ cup diced carrots
½ cup green beans, French cut
½ cup diced celery
1 (10 ounce) can bamboo shoots, julienned
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and julienned
½ cup jicama, peeled and julienned
½ cup bean sprouts
1 (16 ounce) package egg roll wrappers
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a wok or skillet, saute the garlic and onions in hot oil until the onions are translucent. Add the pepper and soy sauce and saute further.
  • Drain the excess oil, add the water and bring to a boil. Add the carrots and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the green beans, celery, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, and jicama. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and add the bean sprouts. Cool to room temperature.
  • Place three heaping tablespoons of the filling diagonally near one corner of each wrapper, leaving a 1 1/2 inch space at both ends. Fold the side along the length of the filling over the filling, tuck in both ends, and roll neatly. Keep the roll tight as you assemble. Moisten the other side of the wrapper with water to seal the edge. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap to retain moisture.
  • Heat a wok over medium heat, add oil to 1/2 inch depth, and heat for 5 minutes. Place 3 or 4 egg rolls in the oil, gently. Fry the rolls until all sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately

COCONUT-STEWED BAMBOO SHOOTS WITH SHRIMP (GINATAANG TAMBO)



Coconut-Stewed Bamboo Shoots With Shrimp (Ginataang Tambo) image

Dressing seafood in coconut milk is a classic way of cooking it, writes Nicole Ponseca in her book, "I Am a Filipino." Here, shrimp are quickly sautéed in a heady coconut milk sauce laced with onion, ginger and slivers of red chile. Slippery pieces of bamboo shoot (canned, or fresh if you can find it) add texture and a gentle earthiness.

BEANS AND BAMBOO SHOOTS



Beans and Bamboo Shoots image

From Nepal, this looks like a fabulous dish for the World Tour. Mustard oil is an extremely hot, pungent oil expressed from mustard seeds and should be stored in the refrigerator and will keep for up to about 6 months. It can be used (sparingly because of the heat) in stir fries, salad dressings and marinades. Stone ground prepared mustard could be used as a substitute.

VEGAN THAI CURRY VEGETABLES



Vegan Thai Curry Vegetables image

Drew Spangler Faulkner, a cooking teacher at L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda, Md., makes a Thai green curry that is a kind of comfort food. The sauce, made creamy with coconut milk, and gently spicy with the curry paste, is flavorful yet soothing. The vegetables, which are simply dropped into the sauce, and gently simmered for about 12 minutes, turn out tender, not soggy. It is startlingly simple. She makes her own green curry paste, but the recipe calls for any one of three store bought pastes. Although some green curry pastes contain fish or shrimp paste, she has found three brands which do not: Thai Taste, Maesri and Thai Kitchen.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (do not shake can)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
4 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
4 teaspoons palm sugar or brown sugar
6 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, like Thai Taste, Maesri, and Thai Kitchen, none of which have shrimp or fish paste
1/2 cup diced (1/2 inch) onion
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) red bell pepper
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) zucchini or other summer squash
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) peeled sweet potato
2/3 cup sliced bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) Asian eggplant
1 lime
8 large basil leaves, cut into thin chiffonade

Steps:

  • Open the can of coconut milk without shaking it. Spoon 6 tablespoons of the coconut cream from the top of the can into a medium saucepan. Pour remaining contents of can into a medium bowl, and mix well. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, and palm or brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place saucepan of coconut cream over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add curry paste and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until very fragrant, about 3 minutes; adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, green beans, and eggplant. Stir until vegetables are hot, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste; you may use the juice of an entire lime. Stir and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the curry seems too thick.
  • To serve, place the curry in a warm serving bowl and garnish with the basil chiffonade. If desired, serve over jasmine rice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the green beans remain crisp, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes before stir-frying.
  • If you don't have bamboo shoots, you can substitute with other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli.
  • Use a large wok or skillet to ensure even cooking and to prevent the vegetables from overcrowding.
  • To add a bit of heat to the dish, include a teaspoon of chili paste or a few slices of chili peppers.
  • For a more flavorful dish, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

This stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that is packed with flavor and nutrition. The combination of green beans, bamboo shoots, and chicken provides a variety of textures and tastes, while the ginger, garlic, and soy sauce add depth and complexity. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it can be easily tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this stir-fry a try!
