ASIAN CHICKEN AND JAPANESE EGGPLANT STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients and marinate chicken for a minimum of 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• In a large wok, heat 2 tablespoons oil for 20 seconds. Add chicken and stir quickly (separating chicken) for 30 seconds. Remove chicken and drain.
• Place 2 tablespoons garlic and red bell pepper in wok and cook for 5 seconds. Add cooking wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce and water to wok. Slice off eggplant stem and slice eggplant. Add eggplant and stir until the mixture boils. Turn heat to low, cover and cook 2-3 minutes (make sure mixture does not run dry). After 2 minutes check to see if eggplant is tender; then add cornstarch mixture slowly. Return chicken to wok; stir and fold until mixed well with sauce again. Add green onion and sesame oil and stir & fold until thoroughly mixed.
• Serve with steamed or fried rice.

JAPANESE BEEF TONGUE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Rub 1 tablespoon salt onto beef tongue; place on a plate. Let sit until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Dip beef tongue into boiling water with a slotted spoon for 30 seconds. Remove, draining excess water; transfer to a plate.
• Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in onions; cook and stir until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beef tongue and more sesame oil if needed; cook and stir until tongue is browned, about 3 minutes.
• Stir sake, dashi powder, salt, and pepper into the skillet; simmer until flavors combine, 2 to 3 minutes.

JAPANESE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Cut all of the meat and veggies, so they are ready to cook. I find that cutting the chicken while it is still half frozen makes it much easier!
• Start your rice in a rice cooker or on the stove. The cooking time for the dinner is equivalent to the cooking time for rice.
• Using a wok or large frying pan, heat sesame oil over medium-high. Add in the garlic. When the oil starts to sizzle, add in the shoyu, vinegar, mirin, sugar, and ginger. Mix well.
• Add chicken. Cook until there is no pink at all. Chicken will have a rich brown color from the sauce.
• Add in the veggies and cook until the rice is done.
• If I am cooking for people who do not like crunchy veggies, I will steam all the veggies together in a separate pot while the chicken is cooking, then add the steamed veggies in with the chicken once it is cooked.
• Serve over rice.
