Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 teaspoons ginger -- minced

3 cloves garlic

1 large red onion -- peeled and cut

lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices

1 red potato -- or white potato,

scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 red bell pepper -- seeded and cut into

1/4-inch dice

1 cup broccoli florets -- 1/2-inch in

diameter

1 cup white mushrooms -- quartered

1 teaspoon hot curry powder

1/4 teaspoon hot red chili paste

1 teaspoon brown sugar

3 cups cooked white or brown rice

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 cup bean sprouts

1/2 cup scallions -- thinly sliced

 

Serves 6 to 8

 

Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over high heat- Add the ginger and

garlic, stir until it's sizzling, then add the onion and potato. Cover and

cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once or twice until the potatoes are

half-cooked. Uncover the pan and add the bell pepper, broccoli, and

mushrooms and stir-fry 2 minutes until the broccoli begins to turn bright

green. Add the curry powder, chili paste, and sugar and stir-fry 2 minutes

longer. Stir in the rice and soy sauce and mix rapidly, stirring until the

grains are hot before adding the bean spouts and scallions. Stir another 30

seconds or so and remove from heat. Serve immediately.

 

This quickly cooked dish of colorful crisp-tender vegetables lends itself

easily to variations. Try diced sweet potato instead of white potato and

substitute any of the cabbage clan (napa, green, Chinese, bok choy) for the

broccoli. The pungent flavors are fresh, bright, and spicy, but there is

only the faintest hint of curry powder.
