German Sweet Sour Stir Fry Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger and pineapple juice. Place tofu in small glass or plastic bowl. Pour juice mixture over tofu; toss gently. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
• Remove tofu from marinade; reserve marinade. Dissolve cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water.
• Heat sesame oil in wok or 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots; stir-fry about 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Add pineapple, tofu and bell pepper; gently stir-fry 2 minutes.
• Stir cornstarch mixture into reserved marinade; pour into wok. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; cover and cook 2 minutes. Serve over rice. Sprinkle with nuts.

Steps:

• Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high; swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and bell pepper to skillet; cook, stirring, until pepper has softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, pineapple, and scallions; cook 1 minute.
• Stir jam and vinegar into skillet; bring to a boil and cook until reduced and syrupy, about 1 minute. Return shrimp to pan and toss until coated and heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste; serve over rice, sprinkled with more vinegar and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Cook and stir ground pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Return skillet to high heat. Stir onion and carrots into the ground beef; stir-fry until the vegetables are hot, about 2 minutes.
• Stir rice vinegar, ketchup, sugar, and soy sauce together in a bowl; pour over pork mixture. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the mixture; stir. Place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the broccoli is tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• FYI: This entire meal can be made in one large teflon skillet with a lid very easily. This makes for easy clean up and keeps the mess down in the kitchen. ;).
• Chop or slice the smoked sausage into medallions or cubes, your choice. Toss into a skillet with the oil and the green onion. Cook until the green onion is becoming soft and cooked, and the meat is getting that nice brown stuff we all like to taste on it. (A teflon pan works well for this task.)
• Next, mix the flour, sugar, salt, celery seed, dry mustard and pepper in a small bowl. Add the water and vinegar, stirring briskly until mixed well.
• Put this mixture in the skillet on medium heat, stirring until it becomes thick and bubbly.
• Add the shredded cabbage. I used a whole head of cabbage, so I paid attention to how well this sauce coated the cabbage. I added a bit more water while the cabbage cooked down to ensure the sauce stayed, "saucy." It wasn't watery, just moist. Probably a total of 1/2 cup total during the cooking process.
• Cook cabbage at medium heat (hot enough to cook down the cabbage, but not to burn it to the bottom of the pan), keeping it covered and stirring occasionally. Taste it during this time. You will need to salt it to your tastes. As it starts to soften, add in the sausage and green onion mixture.
• Cook this until it reaches the texture of your preference, either crispy, medium crispy or soft. Stir occasionally during this process, but keep covered otherwise.
• Serve!

Steps:

• Cut away greens from radishes and trim off bottoms of the stems. Wash in 2 changes of water and spin dry. Chop coarsely. Trim away tips of radishes and quarter lengthwise if large, cut in half if small.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, vinegar, agave nectar or honey, and stock or water. Have all ingredients within arm's length of your burner.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add oil to wok or pan and swirl to coat sides, then add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add white parts of scallions and stir-fry for 30 seconds to a minute. Add radish greens, salt and pepper and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes more, until they wilt, and stir in radishes. Stir-fry for 1/2 minute and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for a minute more, then stir in ilantro and scallion greens, stir together for a few seconds, add cornstarch slurry and stir until vegetables are glazed (less than 30 seconds). Remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Mix 4 tbsp of pineapple juice into the cornflour until smooth, then stir in the tomato sauce, soy, sugar and vinegar.
• Heat oil until very hot in a wok, then throw in the pork for 1 min, stirring. Lift pork out onto a plate, then set aside.
• Add the pepper, stir-fry for 2 mins, then add the pineapple and most of the spring onions for 30 secs. Stir in the sauce for 1 min, splashing in a little water as it cooks, then stir the pork back in for 20-30 secs until just cooked through - it should still be tender. Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve with rice or noodles.
