Teriyaki Stir-Fry

My friend Stephanie told me about this recipe a week or so ago. I made it and loved it!! When I decided to make egg rolls today I knew I had to make this to go with it! They went wonderful together!!





Teriyaki Stir-Fry
(This is for a double recipe)

2 bags of Morningstar beef strips (or 2 lbs of beef strips)
2 green zuccini, chopped
2 yellow squash, chopped
approx 1/4-1/3 cup Teriyaki sauce
3 Tbs Olive Oil
2 cloves garlic, minced (I use the jarred already minced kind)
Jasmine Rice

Start with cooking desired amount of rice according to directions.

Brown beef strips and minced garlic in Olive Oil until browned.

Add Teriyaki sauce to browning meat.

After meat has browned add vegi's.


Cook until desired texture. I like mine alittle soft, but still slightly crisp.


Here is the rice when finished cooking. It is the best smelling and tasting rice I have EVER had!!!

And the finished product (served with Egg Rolls, recipe below)

Yummy Egg Rolls!!

Ok, so today I decided to make Tofu Egg Rolls. I haven't made them in ages and they are so good!
















Egg Rolls

1 package water packed tofu, crumbled (or 1 lb ground beef)
1 tsp minced ginger
2 cups finely chopped cabbage
1/4 lb bean sprouts
1/2 cup shredded carrots
3 green onions, finely chopped
2 Tbs Oyster sauce
1 pkg Nasoya Egg Roll Wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying (or deep frying)
Sweet and sour sauce
~~

(below is a picture of shredded cabbage & carrots, chopped green onions and crumbled tofu.


Stir-fry tofu (or meat) and ginger in wide skillet over high heat until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.


Add cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots and green onions;


Cook for 2 minutes. Then stir in Oyster sauce.


Turn off heat and let cool. I usually move the mixture to another pan so I can use this pan to fry the egg rolls in.

Pour about 1/4-1/2 inch of oil into frying pan. And cover a plate with 2-3 paper towels to absorb the oil after removing the eggrolls from frying pan.


Place 2 Tbs of filling in each egg roll. Follow folding directions.


Here is a video of how to roll up the eggrolls.



Then fry egg rolls at 350 in hot oil, a few at a time. turn once when golden on bottom, 2-3 minutes.

Drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Sweet & Sour sauce.


Enjoy!
