Simple Asian Stir-fry

Simple Asian Stir-fry 

Ingredients for 6-8 servings 

2 tbsp sesame oil 

2 Cups - carrot sticks

2 red Bell peppers thinly sliced 

1 cup snap peas

3 cups broccoli

4 Serrano thinly sliced 

3 Cup cooked and Cooled Noodles 

Sauce (Adjust Ingredients to taste)

2 tbsp Sesame oil

1/4 cup vegetarian “oyster” sauce 

1/3 cup soy sauce 

1/4 cup tomato paste /ketchup ( adjust salt if using ketchup) 

1/4 cup Chilli paste 

3 tbsp chili powder ( I used 2tbsp of Korean chilli powder and 1 Tbsp resham patti) 

2 tbsp sesame seeds

1 Tbsp brown sugar 

Salt 

Garnish 

1/2 cup Toasted peanuts ground coarse

Chili oil

Cilantro / Basil leaves 

Procedure 

In a sauce pan mix all the sauce ingredients and bring to a slow boil. Keep whisking, as the sugars can burn easily. Should take no longer than 3-4 minutes for the sauce to thicken and have a shine to it. 

In a sauté pan, heat the sesame oil. Add the vegetables and sprinkle little salt on it. Sauté the vegetables on high heat for 4-5 minutes. I let them char on some edges. Now add the noodles and sauce, toss well and  cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes. 

Serve in a bowl garnished with peanuts, cilantro and chili oil! Enjoy
