METRIC JESTER'S BEEF, BARLEY AND ONIONS
After playing around with steamed barley, I realized I didn't have to use just water to steam the barley. Now this may sound like a basic cooking technique to you, but to me it was a revelation in the form of a new recipe. I grabbed a bunch of ingredients I had around my house, put them on the counter and made this up in my head. I suggest you double up the recipe, cause this barely feeds me by myself it's so good!

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH TOFU
This vegan take on the cucumber and pork stir-fry offers the perfect level of acid to balance out the spice. Cooked quickly over high heat, cucumbers become juicy, with a lovely silky texture that is still crisp to the bite. Salting the cucumbers before stir-frying is essential, as it draws out moisture and allows for more of the garlicky umami flavors of the sauce to be soaked up. The tofu delivers heartiness, while the hint of Sichuan chile flakes takes this dish to another level.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon salt, and gently massage the pieces. (This helps to release some of the water.) Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until the cucumbers are slightly wet and pliable to the touch.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water.
- Prepare the stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over high. When smoking hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the tofu, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tofu is partly golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the wok or skillet clean, and keep off the heat until the cucumbers are ready.
- Drain the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat the wok or skillet back over high heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for just 10 seconds, then toss in the cucumbers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss well.
- Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cucumbers look glossy. Taste and season well with salt and white pepper. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice, if using.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients are, the better your stir-fry will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced produce.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If your vegetables are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may end up undercooked.
- Use a hot wok or pan: A hot wok or pan will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from sticking. If your wok or pan is not hot enough, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you are cooking a lot of vegetables, stir-fry them in batches. This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcrowded and soggy.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all of the flavors of your stir-fry together. Make sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fry is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the flavors and textures of the vegetables.
Conclusion:
Stir-frying is a quick and easy way to cook a healthy and delicious meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your stir-fry is perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stir-frying a try. You won't be disappointed!
