CHINESE SPICY EIGHT TREASURES STIR FRY



Chinese Spicy Eight Treasures Stir Fry image

This Spicy Eight Treasures Stir fry is another everyday home cooking dish from the old days in Shanghai. The secret of this dish is a combination of 3 things: dried shrimp, loads of garlic and the substitution of spicy bean paste for the sweet bean paste.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup spiced bean curd ((cut in ½-inch cubes))
1 cup carrot ((diced in ½-inch cubes))
1 cup frozen shelled edamame ((thawed))
1 cup lean pork ((diced into ½-inch cubes))
2 heads garlic ((peeled and chopped))
½ cup small dried shrimp ((rinsed and drained))
1 cup raw shelled peanuts ((rinsed and drained))
1 cup green pepper ((diced; long hot peppers can be used for extra heat, or you can use bell peppers if you prefer it mild))
3 tablespoons cooking oil
2 tablespoons shaoxing wine
2 tablespoons spicy bean paste ((doubanjiang))
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon black bean chili sauce ((Lao Gan Ma brand))

Steps:

  • Stir fry the spiced bean curd with a teaspoon of oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Take it out of wok and set aside. Stir fry the carrot with a teaspoon of oil using medium heat for about two minutes...until softens slightly. Take it out of wok and set aside. Repeat the process another two times with the edamame and the cubed pork and set both aside.
  • Then add a tablespoon of oil to the pan and stir-fry the garlic over medium heat for about a minute. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Add the peanuts and stir for another 3-5 minutes, until they start to smell fragrant. Then add the green pepper and mix well. Now add all the pre-cooked ingredients: the bean curd, carrot, edamame and pork. Continue to stir and cook for another few minutes so that everything comes together. Add cooking wine, spicy bean paste, sugar, sesame oil, and the black bean chili sauce. Stir everything together and keep stirring until most of the liquid has evaporated and all the ingredients are well-coated in sauce. Plate and serve!

LUCKY 8 STIR-FRY



Lucky 8 Stir-Fry image

Eight is a lucky number in the Chinese culture, especially at Lunar New Year. The Chinese word for "eight" is a homophone for prosperity, so numbers with consecutive eights in them represent "big money." This mixed vegetable dish takes its inspiration from Buddhist vegetarian cooking and can include any combination of ingredients that represent good luck, prosperity, happiness, family wholeness, and longevity. The ingredients also should have contrasting-yet-balanced flavors and textures. You can serve this on any day of the week-especially when it's Lunar New Year.

½ cup dried lily flowers, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes
½ cup dried wood ear mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and cut into (¼-inch-thick) strips
1 cup sliced Chinese cabbage or baby bok choy
8 snow peas, trimmed and cut on the bias into (½-inch-wide) pieces
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine, sherry, or dry Marsala wine
¼ teaspoon sesame oil

Stir-fry for about 90 seconds and then add the soy sauce, water, and Shaoxing wine. Stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the sesame oil and white pepper powder. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds more to combine.
