Recipe for Special Vegetable Stir Fry
- Julienne the cucumbers and mushrooms. Cut the potatoes into matchsticks, thin and long. Slice the cabbage and tomatoes thinly lengthwise. Keep all the veggies in separate containers.
- Put the meat in a pressure cooker with the following: 500 ml water, salt, red chilli powder, garlic, ginger and onions. Cook under pressure for 20 minutes.
- Then dry the mixture until no water remains, add one tablespoon of olive oil, and stir fry until all the meat is browned and a layer of sauce has stuck to the bottom of the pot, make sure the oil has separated from the sauce before adding 250 ml of water and bringing it to a boil.
- Now remove all the meat from the pot and slice thinly lengthwise against the grain.
- Add the cabbage to the pot, cover and let simmer until it goes completely tender and the water reduces down to a fourth.
- Preheat the frying oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and fry the potatoes once until tender, then fish out onto a paper towel and let oil soak out. Refry until golden and crispy, 20 minutes later.
- Take a wok and heat it to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, then put 2 tbsp oil in it.
- Drain the cabbage and stir fry until crispy brown edges form and the water evaporates, the oil should separate out.
- Drain it of oil by pressing down on the veg against the side of the wok and set aside.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil and stir fry the mushrooms until crispy.
- Now, add another tbsp. Olive oil and stir fry the beef with half the reduced broth added.
- Lastly, add the final tbsp. of olive oil and fry the tomatoes for just 2 minutes, without excessive stirring.
- Mix together all the veg and meat in a large bowl.
- In the pot, add hot sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and the juice of two oranges. Simmer until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Then put in a serving dish alongside the stir fry.
- Serve fresh.
