Preparation

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound (450 grams) of your choice of protein (such as chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu) cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2-3 cups of assorted vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snap peas)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or noodles for serving

Instructions:

  1. Prepare all the ingredients by cutting the protein and vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger if using.

  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl it around to coat the pan evenly.

  3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger (if using) to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. Add the protein to the pan and stir-fry until it's cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the protein you're using. Remove the cooked protein from the pan and set it aside.

  5. Add the vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are crisp-tender. You can adjust the cooking time depending on how crunchy or soft you prefer your vegetables.

  6. Return the cooked protein to the pan with the vegetables.

  7. Drizzle the dark soy sauce over the ingredients in the pan. Toss everything together to coat the protein and vegetables evenly with the sauce.

  8. Continue to stir-fry for another minute or so until everything is heated through and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.

  9. Remove the pan from the heat and serve the stir-fry hot over cooked rice or noodles.

Other Information

Like fine wines or aged cheeses, dark soy sauce can develop more complex flavors over time. Some connoisseurs appreciate the depth and complexity of dark soy sauce that has been aged for a longer period.
