"I love making stir-fries as side dishes to go with things like teriyaki chicken or spicy grilled chicken, etc. It is very easy to change up the vegetables as you need, taking full advantage of what you have on hand. It is great for a vegetarian meal too, but you might want to dust some tofu with cornstarch and fry it with the veggies to add extra protein. Frozen->thawed, pressed, drained tofu is best for a meaty texture."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place oil in wok or large skillet and turn fire over medium high heat; add garlic and cook until fragrance starts to release- do not burn.

Step 2

Add peas, carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and fish sauce.

Step 3

Steam-fry over heat until vegetables start to get tender, about 10-15 minutes (I forgot exactly how long, but I remember the peas were taking a bit of time).

Step 4

The fish sauce and the liquid exuded from the mushrooms should be plenty of liquid as it was for me.

Step 5

If not, add a tbsp. of water or fish sauce to the pan to finish cooking, but don't get too heavy or it won't have time to cook out.

Step 6

Add the sambal oelek, the basil and the lemongrass, the chilies, and stir well.

Step 7

Beware of the odors coming from the pan; the peppers may get you in the eyes.

Step 8

When the basil and lemongrass have wilted and heated through, add the peanut butter, which should have a mixable consistency.

Step 9

Stir that in and heat through.

Step 10

Squeeze the lime over all, (watching out for seeds), mix well, and serve.

Step 11

Serve with rice.
