I decided to do some Superbowl cooking Sunday night even though the Superbowl airs Monday morning (at 7 a.m.!) here in Hong Kong. I had been dying to make stir fry in a WOK, so last night I did. It is a ton of fun to cook with a wok--you get to use high heat, everything cooks quickly, and it's easy to improvise on your favorite ingredients. I ordered the veggies in the photo below and then went to the market to buy sprouts and flank steak. I used seasonings we already had to flavor the 'fry. I also bought Thai, long grain rice online so that I could start attempting to make rice in the Chinese style--aka sticky! Here's what happened:
 |
| Rob sweetly chopped the veggies for me. |
 |
| Heating the wok and adding peanut oil! Vinegar, soy sauce and chili oil on the sidelines, ready for action. Computer and recipe on the dish drying rack. |
 |
| sizzling steak and veggies |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
Stir fry with sticky rice! It was delicious and fun. I will definitely do it again.

Recipe for Stir Fry and Rice here. Note, I did not have all of the stir fry ingredients, so I subbed peanut oil, white wine and vinegar for canola oil, sake and hoisin sauce. I also did not put the stir fry "in a bun" or add cornstarch as the recipe calls for...improvising worked well!
