We eat a lot of stir fry, but it's probably really Americanized. I use fresh and/or frozen veggies, usually chicken but sometimes beef strips, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sometimes I'll make a teriyaki or General Tsaou (sp?) sauce... I usually make rice to serve this mixture over. I'd really like to try to branch out into more authentic Asian cooking. Any tips or yummy recipes? Thanks

here is one of my favorite Filipino dish:

Chayote Guisado or Sayote Guisado (Sautéed Chayote) is one of the Filipino recipes that we love so much as a family. It's also known as the "chayote squash."

Ingredients :

* 2 to 4 pieces chayote squash, pared, seeded and sliced
* 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
* 1/2 lb. pork, sliced... can use chicken breast too.
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 tomatoes, chopped
* 1 tbsp. patis (fish sauce)
* salt and pepper, to taste
* water

Cooking Procedures :

1. In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook pork until it turns slightly brown.
2. Add garlic, onions and tomatoes. Sauté for a few minutes until tomatoes wilted.
3. Add chayote slices. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for few minutes until well blended.
4. Pour in water and bring to boil. Cover, lower the heat and let it simmer until chayote is tender.
5. Correct the seasonings according to your style and liking.
6. Remove from heat. Transfer to a serving dish. Serve over steamed rice.

Hope you enjoy this!

There are lots of good websites you can use, or you can pick up decent
Asian cookbooks at local library sales quite often.

Hi,

There is lots of website available on the internet who teach us that how to cook Asian food. I think you should try these websites.

Less is more, by mixing light soy sauce stock and a bit of water together with garlic you can make a really basic sauce which can be used on or with almost any meats. I like to steam fish in a foil packet with ginger spring onion and the above sauce. Serve with rice and you have an incredibly healthy and tasty dinner.

to tell you honestly, I love cooking with sriracha sauce. Best stuff ever.

Check out this recipe for fresh Ahi Tuna Appetizer on my website RecipeGate | recipe 13 for Tuna Appy
It is a bit complicated but follow the instructions and you will be well rewarded. Hope you enjoy!
