VEGGIE STIR-FRY WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Boil on medium-high heat until tender but still intact, about 15 minutes. Drain.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low and add pea pods. Add cooked potatoes and increase heat to medium. Cook 5 to 7 minutes more.
• Add bok choy, bean sprouts, and spinach to the pan. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low; cook about 5 minutes. Add soy sauce and ginger. Cook, uncovered, until juices evaporate and leaves are wilted, about 5 minutes more. Season with salt.

FALL STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the soy sauce in a bowl. Toss the pork in the mixture. Marinate in the fridge for 2 hours.
• Mix together the hoisin, ginger, chili paste, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet (12- to 14-inch) over high heat and add the oil. Toss the pork with the cornstarch to coat.
• Add the pork to the skillet in small batches and cook, stirring infrequently to ensure good browning and crispness, until the pork is barely cooked through, about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on wire-racked baking sheet.
• Add the sprouts, squash and scallions to the hot skillet and stir-fry until the veggies are crisp-tender and have developed good caramelization, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the pork back and cook 1 minute. Add the hoisin mixture and simmer for an additional 1 minute. Add the pears and toss to coat. Remove from the heat.
• Very thinly slice the reserved scallion tops on the bias and toss them in with the sesame seeds to garnish.

HOT AND NUMBING STIR-FRIED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 2 inches. Season heavily with salt. (The water should taste like very salty seawater once the salt has dissolved.) Place over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until there's no resistance when a knife or cake tester is poked through the largest potato, about 10 minutes after they come to a boil. Drain potatoes and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to air-dry.
• While the potatoes cook, make the spice blend: In a small bowl, shake the Sichuan peppercorns and discard any shiny black seeds, twigs or leaf fragments. Add the husks to a dry wok, along with the star anise, fennel seeds, white peppercorns and half the cumin seeds. Toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a small bowl to cool slightly. Return wok to heat and add remaining cumin seeds and the chiles. Toss and stir until very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a second small bowl.
• When cool, transfer the spice mixture in the first bowl, along with the 2 chiles from the second bowl to an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt, sugar and chicken bouillon. Grind to a fine powder and return to the empty bowl.
• Add the cumin seeds that toasted with the chiles to the spice grinder or the mortar (no need to clean it out) and pound or pulse until very coarsely ground. (There should be large, distinct pieces of cumin seeds.) Add half-ground cumin and the sesame seeds to the rest of the spice mixture and stir to incorporate.
• Stir-fry the potatoes: When potatoes are dry, heat 3 tablespoons oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Clear a small space in the center of the wok and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to it. Immediately add the garlic, scallions and spice mixture to the oil and stir until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in spices, about 15 seconds. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

SWEET N SOUR SIRLOIN STIR-FRY WITH RANCH MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pop the meat in the freezer for a few minutes to stiffen it up for slicing.
• Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain. Halve the steak lengthwise then very thinly slice the meat. Heat the oil in a very large skillet over high heat. When oil wafts smoke and ripples, add the meat and stir-fry until caramelized 3 minutes. Add peppers and stir-fry 2 minutes then add in scallions and edamame for 2 minutes more. Stir together the sugar, soy, mustard and ketchup and pour over stir-fry the last minute of cooking. Season, to taste, if necessary. Mash potatoes with buttermilk, salt and pepper, hot sauce, parsley, dill, chives, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve with stir-fry on top!;

AUTUMN VEGETABLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• For the sauce: Stir together the stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and pepper in a small bowl, making sure the cornstarch is dissolved well. Set aside.
• For the vegetable stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. Swirl in
• the oil to coat the bottom. When you see wisps of white smoke, add the tofu and stir-fry until light brown on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add the ginger and stir-fry it until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, carrots, cabbage and snow peas and keep them moving while searing. Don't be scared to scrape the pan and fold the vegetables over many times. Cook until the Napa cabbage gets bright green and starts to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in the sauce, coat all the vegetables and tofu and bring the sauce to a boil. The cornstarch will thicken into a glaze, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
