It's an amazing turkish dish, also known as Sultan's Delight... smoked eggplant mash with grilled beef in a tomato based sauce king dolloped on the middle. Amazing.
So, for tonight's dinner, I just now finished the MOST amazing stir-fry to date.
Only thing missing was eggplant, since it went bad too quickly.
When i can get the pic off my iPhone, I'll upload it.
Here's what I did....
1 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4", then halved/quartered to size
1 small crook-neck yellow squash done the same way
big handfull of pre shredded carrots
single handfull of pre sliced baby bella mushrooms
handfull of bean sprouts
tops of one bunch of bok choy, sliced about 1/4" wide
sliced green onion (green tops about 1 - 1 1/4" long, rest regular sliced)
2 small chicken breasts, chopped
1/3 of an orange bell pepper, sliced into strips
handfull of snow pea pods
marinade:
2/3 of a large ramekin of Asia-Asia ginger teriyaki marinade
regular spoon full of minced garlic
1/2T sesame oil
1 T huy fong chili paste (stuff in the plastic jar with green lid)
a little pepper (NO SALT)
1 1/2" slice of jalapeno pepper, minced
I separated the stuff by cooking timess: chicken in one bowl, of course... with an extra 1/2T minced garlic and blop of chili paste; zucchini, squash, pea pods carrots and few green onion slices; bok choy, mushrooms, bean sprouts, bell pepper, and green onion tops.
Sitr fried the chicken almost done first, set aside.
Stir fried zucchini mix for 5 minutes, removed from wok-pan, set aside.
Stir fried bok choy mix for 3 minutes, removing excess liquid as needed.
Add chicken, continue x 2 minutes.
Add in the rest of the cooked vegetables and cook for 3 more minutes until mushrooms look done.
Take 1/2 of a ramekin full of the ginger teriyaki marinade with a squirt of sriracha sauce and pour over top, cook 1 minute. Remove veg and chicken from pan, reserving liquid in wok pan. Add 1t of cornstarch to the liquid and simmer until thickened. Add stuff back into the pan, toss to coat and reheat rice from Thai restaurant the other night.
Sounds like a pain in the ass, but it's actually really easy and I just eyeball a lot of the cooking times. Delicious. S ate an entire bowl and wanted more, but resisted.
