Wok n Roll Fantasy

tarheelmatt · February 2016

Taking a page from my little buddy @Sardonicus , and thought I'd be more playful with my posts. Well, not taking it to his level by no means, but having a little fun none the less.

As the title notes, it's my Wok n Roll Fantasy with the tip of the hat to Bad Company....

https://youtu.be/5eQGqUfKbzk

Not really a "Roll" in this cook, and really isn't a fantasy, just an ordinary cook really. An egg roll would have been good though.

Didn't follow a recipe, I'll call this... Steak Stir Fry. Took a while to really think of a name of that one.

Okay, back to the post.

Flank steak slicked thinly. Fresh ginger and garlic with some sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce for a simple marinade.

Veggies were: Green onions, asparagus, onion, green bell pepper

Sauce: Low sodium soy sauce (3-4 TBS), dijon mustard (w/honey)(2 tsp), honey (TBS), brown sugar (2-3 TBS), white wine vinegar (splash), salt and pepper (to taste), green onion (top of one), ginger (1-2 tsp), garlic (1-2 tsp).

Couple tablespoons water with cornstarch for thickening.

The pictures:

1 - Ingredients. Man my table is filthy.

2 - Veggies getting happy. Canola oil and sesame oil, added garlic and ginger to this mixture too.

3 - Everyone getting happy now. Before sauce.

4 - All done!

5 - Plated with Jasmine rice, green onion garnish.

Thanks for taking a look at my Wok n Roll Fantasy.

Rev. 1 - Added other ingredients to the sauce list.

That plate looks off the charts brother!! I'd tear into it and not look back. I'm am really diggin the no recipe because that's how my wok has been Rollin lately. Damn good way to clean out the fridge.

Positioning of that plate is truly a piece of art!!

Thanks brother!

Positioning is the key! Didn't really pay much attention. We were all hungry. I plopped it down and snapped the picture and went on with the bid-ness.

Thank you! Wok cooking is one of my favorites to do on the Egg.

Hey Matt, can't remember if you commented before about the handles on your wok. If you were starting from scratch, would you go for he wooden handles or the double bail-type handles that are more common? Why?
