Broccoli Stir-Fry with a Tamarind Twist

March 21, 2017

Happy Spring… Enter all vegetables NOW!!!!  What better way to bring them together than in a stir fry!  Instead of going with the usual teriyaki version, we are going to use tamarind.  It’s a fruit grown in tropical areas and is commonly known to be from Asia.  The pulp from a tamarind once ripened has a paste-like texture and has a sweet/sour taste – giving a stir fry and new and refreshing flavor.

  • 2 Tbsp Fish Sauce

Meat:

  • 500g sirloin or flank steak cut across the grain in thin strips. (you can also use chicken if preferred)
  • 2 tsp of corn starch
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 4 cloves of garlic inced

Whisk the yolk, garlic and corn starch together.  Toss with the steak strips (this will give the steak a silky texture when cooked)

  • 4 cups broccoli
  • 1 red pepper – matchstick
  • 1 onion sliced thinly
  • 1 cup mushrooms (optional)
  • 3 cups bean sprouts (optional)
