recently in one of the chinese restayrants i ordered stirfried veggies and the offered a mix of diced celery,carrot,button mushrooms and cashew nuts....seasoned with garlic and soy.it was really awsome.i tried making it but did not get the same taste.can anyone give me the recipe for this?
Tried using chicken stock instead of water. Season with oyster sauce instead of soy sauce only. And last, but not least, add a little sugar to bring out the taste of the veggies and to neutralize the saltiness of oyster/soy sauce. (I am assuming that you went to a Cantonese restaurant and we Cantonese do add a little sugar in a lot of our dishes.)
second to raincatcher, oyster sauce tastes better than soy sauce. chinese style is big fire and fast cooking so the vegetables still fresh and crunchy. you can fry the cashew nut first before you add vegetables.You can replace MSG and water with chicken boullion/chicken stock
The key to a good chinese cooking is using gas top stove on very high heat. advisable to used sunflower,soy-bean or peanut oil as it flavours the fish, meat and veggies. Try season it with thai fish sauce. Remember always to put the root vegs like carrots first then the greens. Adding some firm tofu makes it a complete meal cos it's packed with protein ....BON APPETIT to a healthy meal!!!
Hey!! Got to be creative in cooking. Remember cooking is an art of blending. Just like 'Fusion'
East meets West.
Of course if you find fish sauce is a little over-powering, soy-sauce is the common choice though......
