We love beef stir-fry recipes, they cook up so fast and are filled with so much flavor, color, and textures!
I start with a hot cast iron wok, then add in oils and my cane sugar. I take my pack of Stir-fry meat and chop it up some more, add some salt, pepper, and soya sauce. Take all those ingredients and put them all into the wok. Stir-fry for just a couple minutes.
Next, add in all your veggies (minus green onions), sauces and mix. Cook high heat for just couple more minutes. Right before serving stir in green onions. As always, got my little supervisor making sure everything getting done right LOL We usually have with sticky rice, but sometimes noodles. What is your favorite type of Stir-fry?Love our Lodge cast iron wok
2CUPS white beans soaked 1 onion diced 2 carrots diced 2 celery stalks diced 2-5cloves garlic minced (we used 5) 3 CUPS Chicken stock/bouillon 3CUPS water 2TBSP Italian spice 1TBSP parsley Couple bay leaves Salt/pepper 1 Ham hockThrow everything in a Dutch oven and or large pot. Bring up to a boil and light boil for an hour. Adding more water if needed.
Remove the ham hock, I give it a rinse under cold water to cool it down quicker. Separate all the meat from the bone and chop up roughly.
Put all your ham hock back in, stir, remove bay leaves and serve.We don’t eat enough beans in this house, it was enjoyed by everyone. I love making homemade soups!I have the PC Choice brand but this is about the same.
