Introduction

Every week, I go to my local Farmer's Market, and cobble together a stir-fry based on what looks the best. Here's the beginning of June harvest! Every week, I go to my local Farmer's Market, and cobble together a stir-fry based on what looks the best. Here's the beginning of June harvest!

Ingredients

    1/3 c. White onion, chopped
    1 Spear of broccoli
    5 Medium Carrots
    5 long spears asparagus
    1 tsp. garlic
    1 tsp ginger
    leaves of 4 green onions, diced.
    1 1/2 c. sugar snap peas
    Olive oil (approx 1/4 c.)

Tips

Stir-fries become much simpler when you prep as you go. Make sure all your ingredients are washed and skinned before you heat the skillet, but if you chop the broccoli while the onion browns, then cut your carrots after adding the broccoli, etc. you will find that it seems to cut the prep time to almost nothing, and you'll never accidentally add veggies too fast, so you pan will always stay at a consistant, high temperature.

This recipe can be modified for any veggies you would like; Just plan the order you'll add them based off of which veggies will take longer/less time to cook, always starting with your onion. (e.g.: My broccoli was very thick and fresh, so I want to give it the most time over the heat, whereas the green onions will get mushier the earlier I add them, and the snap peas will loose the crispness if I over cook them, so they go in last.)


Directions

Prepare Rice according to package directions. (I use a dash of olive oil instead of the butter recommended.)
Whenever there's 20 minutes left for the rice to simmer, prepare the skillet for the stir fry by heating w/ a dash of olive oil in the pan.
Add the white onion to skillet, and cook about three minutes, until edges begin to brown.
Add each of the other veggies in the order listed, between 2 and 3 minutes apart to maintain consistent heat of skillet. (Asparagus and spices added at the same time.) Add Olive Oil as needed to keep veggies lightly moistened while cooking.
