CALAMARI STIR FRY WITH PEPPERS AND CUKES
Our chopped challenge this week was squid. We wanted to see squid outside of the fried calamari ring, and so we scored it to keep it tender and sauteed it in a flavor-packed stir-fry. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Squid

Steps:
- Cut the squid bodies on one side so they open up flat. Score with a sharp knife in a 1/4-inch crosshatch pattern. Slice into 1/2-inch strips. Cut any tentacles in half.
- Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and run under cold water until cool.
- Stir together the broth, molasses and soy.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy skillet over high heat. When it just begins to smoke, add the bell peppers, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until charred in places and crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the scallion whites, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the squid and sauce to the wok and cook, stirring until the squid is just cooked, about 1 minute. Stir in the lime juice, and then toss the squid mixture with the noodles. Chill until cool, about 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with the cucumbers and scallion greens.
CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH MIXED PEPPERS
I used green peppers only for this stir-fry. Try to use a mix of hot and sweet peppers, and feel free to use red, yellow or orange ones if you want to introduce some color. The chicken is "velveted" before stir-frying; a good name for this technique as the texture of the chicken remains velvety and moist after stir-frying.

Steps:
- In a large bowl stir together the egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any cornstarch add the chicken and stir together until coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry, the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set it near your wok.
- Fill a medium-size saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and turn the heat down so that the water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add the chicken to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until the chicken turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander set over a bowl.
- 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 the remaining oil by pouring it down the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken, cashews and hoisin sauce mixture and salt to taste. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with grains or noodles.

PORK AND CUCUMBER STIR-FRY
Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the pork into thin slices. Whisk 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, the cornstarch, salt and white pepper together in a medium bowl. Add the pork and mix well.
- Cut the cucumbers crosswise in three pieces. Using the flat side of a large, heavy knife, lightly crush the cucumber pieces, then tear them into chunks; discard any loose seeds.
- Heat the canola oil in a very large cast-iron skillet or wok over high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork and spread it in an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until very fragrant and the pork is nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the cucumbers and stir-fry until the cucumbers are hot, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the scallions and the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce; season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve right away with rice and sambal oelek.
SPICY STIR-FRIED JAPANESE EGGPLANT AND CUCUMBER
This light side dish is inspired by a more substantial pork, cucumber and garlic dish in Grace Young's "Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge." I'd never thought about stir-frying cucumber until I saw this recipe. It's a great idea: the crunchy, watery cucumber contrasts beautifully with the soft eggplant. Make sure to slice the eggplant thinly, or it won't cook through. This stir-fry cold is also good served cold.

Steps:
- Trim off the calyx end of the eggplants. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice thin (about 1/4 inch). Lightly salt, and toss in a colander. Allow to sit for 15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Squeeze out excess water, then dry between sheets of paper towel.
- Meanwhile, trim off the ends of the cucumbers. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice on the diagonal into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, salt and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place all of the ingredients near your wok or frying pan.
- 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 from the surface of the pan. Add the peanut or canola oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the eggplant. Stir-fry for three to four minutes until cooked through. Add the ginger and red pepper flakes, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the cucumbers and scallions or chives. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, and stir-fry one minute until the cucumber just begins to wilt. Remove from the heat and serve.

STIR-FRIED CUCUMBER WITH TOFU
This vegan take on the cucumber and pork stir-fry offers the perfect level of acid to balance out the spice. Cooked quickly over high heat, cucumbers become juicy, with a lovely silky texture that is still crisp to the bite. Salting the cucumbers before stir-frying is essential, as it draws out moisture and allows for more of the garlicky umami flavors of the sauce to be soaked up. The tofu delivers heartiness, while the hint of Sichuan chile flakes takes this dish to another level.

Steps:
- Place cucumbers in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon salt, and gently massage the pieces. (This helps to release some of the water.) Let stand for 10 to 15 minutes until the cucumbers are slightly wet and pliable to the touch.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with 1 tablespoon water.
- Prepare the stir-fry: Heat a wok or a large skillet over high. When smoking hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the tofu, season generously with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until the tofu is partly golden. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the wok or skillet clean, and keep off the heat until the cucumbers are ready.
- Drain the cucumbers and rinse under cold running water. Drain well, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat the wok or skillet back over high heat. When hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for just 10 seconds, then toss in the cucumbers, stir-frying for 2 minutes. Return the tofu to the wok and toss well.
- Add the sauce and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cucumbers look glossy. Taste and season well with salt and white pepper. Top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve with rice, if using.
