By Suzanne Corcoran,
Use this Thai Stir Fry Sauce to turn any dish into a Thai recipe
Ingredients:
- 10 ounces raw spinach or mustard greens, other veggies as needed
- 3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5-6 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 4 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
I used to fly right by the collard greens and mustard greens section of the produce shelves in my local supermarket without stopping. And I did not care for spinach and neither did my family. Not anymore!Here is a simple way to make these good green veggies taste so good with very little effort. This stir fry sauce is not bland like some Chinese sauces and not spicy like other Thai food dishes. The fish sauce called for in this recipe can be Thai or Vietnamese fish sauce and you can find both online if they are not available near you.Main ingredients:1 big bag (10+ ounces or so) raw spinach or mustard greens, other veggies as needed3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil5-6 cloves fresh garlic chopped fine1 cup water2 tablespoons oyster sauce4 tablespoons fish sauce2 tablespoon sweet, dark or black soy sauceServe over ricePrepare by chopping up the garlic and setting it aside. Then combine the water, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sweet soy sauce together in a small bowl. To start, pour the oil into a hot wok or big sauce pot and add the garlic and keep stirring it until it smells good and just starts to turn brown in a few seconds. Then add the raw greens and toss to coat them with the garlicky oil. Then add the sauce you prepared and let it all heat through until the greens are a bit wilted and then serve them over rice.This sauce is the basis for Chicken With Thai Basil but it works well for any vegetarian ingredients you choose. Try adding broccoli, carrots, onion, peas or anything else you can think of.
