Pork and Asparagus Stir-Fry

Pork and Asparagus Stir-Fry Recipe

Sake, or rice wine, is fragrant and slightly sweet, a perfect addition to this simple spring stir-fry. You can also use dry sherry wine or a small splash of sherry vinegar. If using larger asparagus, cut lengthwise into slices.

Sesame-crusted Tuna with Teriyaki Stir-Fry Recipe

Pair pan-seared ahi tuna steaks with a simple mix of stir-fried vegetables. Cook the colorful mix for about two minute, or until they're crisp-tender. Maintaining the crunch of the vegetables adds great texture to the side dish, which pairs nicely with the tender steaks.

Cabbage Stir-fry

Cabbage Stir-fry Recipe

When time is short and you need a simple side that's heavy on the veggies, use a wok or a skillet to quickly cook a vibrant mixture of cabbage, bell pepper, and onion. Add a bright spot of flavor with chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice and serve this dish with simple baked chicken or your favorite Asian-style main dish.

Garlicky Beef-and-Bean Stir-Fry Recipe

Cut costs at the supermarket by rethinking how you buy meats. Here, we use a less expensive cut of beef and stretch it by adding colorful fresh veggies to the entrƩe. Thinly slice the meat and stir-fry it quickly to keep it tender.

Snow Pea-and-Pork Fried Rice

Snow Pea-and-Pork Fried Rice Recipe

Fried rice is a take-out favorite, but the extra oil and fat from the restaurant dishes aren't always a welcome addition to the menu. Create the dish at home using dark sesame oil and you'll end up with a main dish that has the familiar Asian flavor with only a fraction of the fat.

Garden Vegetable Stir-fry with Tofu and Brown Rice Recipe

While this recipe is guaranteed to please the vegetarians at the dinner table, there's no need to keep it locked away until you have a meat-free dinner party. Serve this dish anytime you're craving a colorful buffet of fresh, crisp-tender vegetables packed with flavor. If you like, substitute the tofu for chopped cooked chicken or shrimp.
