STIR-FRIED CUCUMBERS
An inexpensive Chinese side dish. It is very quick to cook. I make this often, and sometimes add a chopped onion together with the cucumbers. The black beans I buy in an Asian supermarket, they are soya beans and salted. The recipe is from a Ken Hom cookbook

Steps:
- Place a wok or heavy pan over high heat.
- When wok is hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- When oil is hot, add cucumbers and 1 tablespoon of the ginger and a couple of splashes of soy sauce.
- Stirfry until cucumbers are tender-crisp to the bite (about 3 minutes).
- Pour onto a platter and keep warm.
- Pour remaining 2 tablespoons oil into wok.
- When oil is hot, add garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon ginger, onions, and shrimp/chicken/pork; Stirfry until all are cooked through (about 3 minutes).
- Add a couple of slashes of soy sauce during the last minute of cooking.
- Serve over hot rice.
PORK AND CUCUMBER STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pork into thin slices. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the cornstarch, salt and white pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the pork and mix well.
- Cut the cucumbers crosswise in three pieces. Using the flat side of a large, heavy knife, lightly crush the cucumber pieces, then tear them into chunks; discard any loose seeds.
- Heat the canola oil in a very large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork and spread it in an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until very fragrant and the pork is nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the cucumbers and stir-fry until the cucumbers are hot, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the scallions and the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve right away with rice and sambal oelek.
STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH TOFU
This vegan take on the cucumber and pork stir-fry offers the perfect level of acid to balance out the spice. Cooked quickly over high heat, cucumbers become juicy, with a lovely silky texture that is still crisp to the bite. Salting the cucumbers before stir-frying is essential, as it draws out moisture and allows for more of the garlicky umami flavors of the sauce to be soaked up. The tofu delivers heartiness, while the hint of Sichuan chile flakes takes this dish to another level.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon salt, and gently massage the pieces. (This helps to release some of the water.) Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until the cucumbers are slightly wet and pliable to the touch.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water.
- Prepare the stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over high. When smoking hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the tofu, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tofu is partly golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the wok or skillet clean, and keep off the heat until the cucumbers are ready.
- Drain the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat the wok or skillet back over high heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for just 10 seconds, then toss in the cucumbers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss well.
- Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cucumbers look glossy. Taste and season well with salt and white pepper. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice, if using.

- SAUCE: Start by making the sauce. In a small bowl, add the corn starch and soy sauce. Whisk with a fork until smooth. Add in the oyster sauce, chicken stock, brown sugar, sesame oil, and a few cracks of pepper (to taste). Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- PREP: Prepare the chicken and veggies. Cut the chicken into small chunks (about 3/4 to 1 inch). Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Slice the onion into thin strips. Peel and then very thinly slice the carrot into diagonal slices (important the slices are thin so they cook in time). Chop the broccoli into small pieces; very thinly slice the pepper. The veggies need to be thinly sliced (or chopped small) so they can cook through quickly.
- COOK: Add the vegetable oil to a very large nonstick skillet or wok. Heat to high heat. Once hot, add garlic and ginger, stirring quickly to keep from burning. Add onion. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute or until onion begins to soften. Add chicken and stir for 1 minute until surface goes from pink to white. Add in the carrots, sugar snap peas, broccoli, and red pepper. Stir constantly for 1 minute. Pour in the sauce and cook, stirring near constantly for another 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has thickened, chicken is cooked through, and veggies are crisp-tender (they shouldn't get soggy or soft -- you want some bite to them!)
- SERVE: Remove from heat and serve immediately with your preferred base (we like rice). Garnish with crushed red pepper flakes, thinly sliced green onions, and/or toasted sesame seeds as desired.
