STIR-FRIED TURKEY BREAST WITH SNAP OR SNOW PEAS AND CHARD



Stir-Fried Turkey Breast With Snap or Snow Peas and Chard image

Turkey cutlets are easy to prep and cook quickly, and young snap peas can be almost as tender as the more traditional snow peas for stir-fries. Shopping for ingredients for this week's recipes in my farmers' market, I found young, tender snap peas that were almost as delicate as snow peas. I had part of a bunch of Swiss chard and used both vegetables. I like using turkey breast cutlets in stir-fries; they've already been cut to a uniform thickness, so all you need to do is slice them across the grain to get even pieces that cook in minutes.

Time 7m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound turkey cutlets, cut across the grain in thin (1/4 to 1/2-inch) slices
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons soy sauce (to taste)
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking sherry (Shaoxing rice wine) or dry sherry
1/4 cup vegetable stock or water
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar (to taste)
1 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot dissolved in 1/2 cup vegetable stock, chicken stock or water
2 tablespoons peanut, canola, sunflower, or grape seed oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
3/4 pound sugar snap peas or snow peas, strings and stems removed
1 bunch scallions, white and green parts separated, minced
1/2 pound Swiss chard, stemmed, leaves washed in 2 changes of water and chopped (about 3 cups), stems diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Season sliced turkey cutlets with salt and pepper. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Put salt and sugar in another container, and place it and the other ingredients near your burner.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the wok or pan and swirl to coat the sides, then add sliced turkey cutlets in one layer. Let sit untouched for about 30 seconds, then stir-fry until lightly colored and no pink is visible, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Swirl in remaining oil, add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add sugar snap peas and white parts of scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add chard, salt and sugar and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until chard wilts. Return turkey to wok and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender and turkey cooked through. Add cilantro, scallion greens, and cornstarch slurry. Stir until mixture is lightly glazed, and remove from the heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.

SWISS CHARD, SNAP PEAS, AND BEEF STIR-FRY



Swiss Chard, Snap Peas, and Beef Stir-Fry image

Stir-frying relies on intense heat to sear proteins and cook vegetables quickly. The combination of earthy chard, bracing garlic, and sweet ginger requires hardly any sauce; a squeeze of citrus pulls it all together.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 ounces sirloin steak, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
1 tablespoon hot chile sauce (such as Sriracha)
6 ounces sugar snap peas, ends trimmed
1 bunch Swiss chard
1 lime

Steps:

  • Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and swirl to coat. Season steak with salt and add to wok. Cook, stirring, until beef is golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon vegetable oil to the wok and swirl to coat. Add garlic, ginger, scallions, chile sauce, sugar snap peas, and 1 pound thinly sliced Swiss chard stems (remove and tear leaves into 2-inch pieces and reserve). Cook, stirring constantly, until snap peas are bright green and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl with beef.
  • Add another tablespoon oil to wok and swirl to coat. Add half of the Swiss chard leaves and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to bowl with beef and snap peas. Repeat with remaining tablespoon oil and chard.
  • Return everything to wok, heat briefly, and season with salt. Squeeze with lime juice, toss to coat, and serve immediately.

STIR-FRIED BEEF AND SUGAR SNAP PEAS



Stir-Fried Beef and Sugar Snap Peas image

Here's a stir-fry far better than most take-out Chinese, and you can make it with any lean cut of meat - flank steak, London broil, tenderloin, sirloin or skirt steak - so long as it is cut thin against the grain. Most takeout joints use snow peas, but sugar snaps are juicier and more succulent, and just as crunchy. (Their downside is that they are slightly more work: they need to be thinly sliced.) As for the sauce, it's simple: thick dark soy sauce (tamari works well), sesame oil, chicken broth and Madeira.

SPICY WOK-CHARRED SNOW PEAS



Spicy Wok-Charred Snow Peas image

High-heat stir-fries are ideal for peas - either snow peas or the sugar snap variety. Assertive seasoning and the slight charring from the wok complement the peas' sweetness wonderfully. The method works well for other spring vegetables, too, like asparagus or baby bok choy clusters. Use a wide cast -iron pan if you don't have a wok. Take care to avoid overcooking; the peas should be a vibrant green color and firm to the bite.

Time 15m

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
