Stir Fry Fixings in a Bag
Stir Fry Fixings in a Bag
The advantages to buying these from the local markets is that the vegetables you need for a stir fry is already cut up, so instead of buying a whole cabbage and only needing part of it for a stir fry, the bag has the correct amount you need. Possibly less waste, and no room in the fridge needed as these are a buy on the day your are going to prepare. All you need is one bag, a few sauces, and a good arm. This can be a side dish or add some meat and you have a main dish. Each bag is only 25 Baht (78 cents) and you have 4 or 5 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 bag stir fry fixings
- oyster sauce, as desired
- mushroom sauce, as desired
- light soy sauce, as desired
- extra light olive oil, as needed
- water, as needed
Instructions
- A typical stir fry fixings in a bag will have chopped broccoli, cabbage, carrot, baby corn, and a few types of mushrooms, oyster and ear wood are common types used. Need a larger amount of stir fry when family is visiting? Use two bags and a larger pan or a wok would be preferred. Simply add the contents of the bag to a colander and give it a quick rinse.
- In a large non stick pan, or wok, heat 1-2 tablespoons of extra light olive oil, when hot, add the fixings (I used 2 bags), and stir fry...
- And stir fry, add a dash of each of the sauces, does not hurt to go heavy handed with the oyster sauce, and taste, if needed more salt, add another dash or so of light soy sauce.
- If the pan is drying out, add a bit of water, and keep stir frying, the water will help steam the veggies as well. When the carrot and broccoli are tender, and the liquid more or less evaporated, pour onto a serving tray and serve as a side with any meal.
To Add Meat
- Meat used is typically chicken or pork where I live, but beef can certainly be used. To prepare the meat, just slice into strips.
- Add the strips to the pan first and stir fry until just no longer pink, a bit of pink visible, no problem!
- Then just add the bag of fixings and continue as stated above.
