RAINBOW CARROT STIR-FRY
In January, a friend gave me beautiful lacquered chopsticks from Shanghai. That was a spur for me to pull out my wok for a stir-fry of spring onions and young carrots of all colors: purple and dark red-orange, yellow and the familiar orange. I've made many rainbow pepper stir-fries, but this time I used my multicolored carrots, and cut them into matchsticks so they would cook quickly along with the spring onions. I wanted this to be a main dish, so I added tofu, as well as the aromatics that I always use in my stir-fries: garlic, ginger, dry sherry, soy sauce and a bit of sugar. The list of ingredients in stir-fry recipes can look long, even daunting. But most of the ingredients don't require knife skills, just measuring spoons, so the preparation is simple. And the actual cooking goes very quickly, so quickly that it's important to have everything prepped and within reach of your wok. Read through the recipe a couple of times before you begin cooking, because once you start, you won't have time to refer to it.

Steps:
- Drain and dry tofu slices on paper towels. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine and stock. Combine salt and sugar in another small bowl. In another bowl, dissolve cornstarch or arrowroot in 2 tablespoons stock or water; stir well. Have ingredients within reach of pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon oil by adding it to the sides of the pan or wok and swirling, then add tofu and stir-fry until lightly colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining soy sauce; stir-fry until no liquid is visible in pan. Remove tofu to a plate.
- Swirl in remaining oil; add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add carrots and white and light green parts of onions or scallions; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add salt, pepper and sugar; toss together and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Return tofu to wok along with sesame seeds and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Stir cornstarch or arrowroot slurry and add it to pan along with cilantro and onion greens. Stir until everything is lightly glazed and remove from heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.

RAINBOW BEEF
In this version of a stir-fry classic I am using less beef than a typical recipe would call for and adding in some shiitake mushrooms and extra peppers.

Steps:
- Slice the steak first with the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Then cut each strip across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place in a medium bowl and toss with the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the rice wine or sherry, the soy sauce, one of the minced garlic cloves, salt and pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon cold water, and the sesame oil.
- Combine the remaining rice wine or sherry and the hoisin sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the beef in a single layer. Let sit in the pan for about 1 minute, until it begins to sear, then stir fry for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate or bowl.
- Swirl in the remaining oil, then add the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the mushrooms and peppers, sprinkle with salt to taste and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Return the beef and any juices that have accumulated on the plate or bowl to the wok, add the hoisin sauce mixture and stir-fry for another 30 seconds to a minute, until the beef is cooked through. Remove from the heat and serve with rice, grains or noodles.

RAINBOW STIR-FRY
Sometimes I have a bunch of vegetables about to go bad, and I have to think about how to make them exciting. Although I've never put this on my menu, I do this at home a lot. It's a smart way to stop wasting food-and it's delicious!

Steps:
- For the raw vegetables: Peel ½-inch piece of the ginger and slice into thin matchsticks (about 1 teaspoon). In a bowl, add the cabbage, ginger, lime juice, salt, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix to combine and place in a serving bowl.
- For the stir-fry: Peel and mince the remaining piece of ginger to yield about 2 teaspoons. Set aside. Heat skillet on high until hot then add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the vegetables in the order that they will take to cook, starting with the carrots. Stir, then add the cauliflower, stir again, and season with salt. Add the zucchini followed by the remaining vegetables; choy sum, kale, and bok choy. Add a handful of water to steam the vegetables (this will speed up the cooking), and continue stirring. When the vegetables are green and vibrant, add the ginger, garlic and chili pepper flakes. Finish with remaining tablespoon rice vinegar and soy sauce. Stir then place on top of the cabbage mixture. Garnish with freshly torn mint, sliced radish, lime wedges and salt. Serve.

- In a pot, combine peanut butter with ¼ cup water. Keep on whisking until you get a homogeneous sauce-like consistency. Add in remaining sauce ingredients apart from the remaining 1/8 cup of water. Finally add in 1/8 cup of water slowly to achieve the consistency you like. I like this sauce to be quite runny as it coats vegetables and rice/noodles better. If you prefer a thicker consistency, just reduce the amount of water. Set aside and heat it up gently a few minutes before serving the dish.
- Heat up a wok or a large frying pan. Once hot, add in oil and swirl it around so that it coats the wok evenly. Add in all the vegetables in the following order, leaving 1-2 minutes between each addition: onion, sweet potato, broccoli, red pepper and cabbage. Stir the contents of the wok the entire time. Add in a few splashes of tamari or soy sauce, sesame oil and a few squeezes of lime to the vegetables. Continue cooking the veg until they are still slightly crunchy but not raw.
- Serve stir-fry vegetables over noodles or rice with a serving of warm peanut sauce and a garnish of fresh coriander and sesame seeds.
