Ingredients
Method
- Marinade meat and seafood with a little salt, pepper, sugar and a dash of cooking wine. Set aside. In a bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients for the Brown Sauce and set aside.
- In a wok, heat 2 tablespoon oil to smoky hot, stir-fry onions and peppers until lightly charred, add in minced garlic, briskly stir-fry until fragrant, toss in the broccoli florets, carrots, and continue stir-frying for about 2 minutes, dash a little salt and pepper, mix well and dish up. Set aside.
- Lightly clean up wok with damp paper towel. Heat up wok with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, stir-fry shrimp, lobster/crab meat for 1 minute, toss in sliced beef and pork/BBQ pork and continue to stir-fry for another 1 minute, or until lightly browned.
- Toss in the mixed canned vegetables, stir well, add in the Brown Sauce seasoning, pour in the chicken broth and continue to stir-fry until vegetables are tender enough to your liking, meat and seafood is thoroughly cooked. Adjust salt, sugar, or other flavorings as per taste. Dish up and serve with hot steamed rice.
Use a wok or a large skillet to make this dish. I recommend using a wok as it distributes heat more evenly and the ingredients can cook quickly while retaining their texture and color. But if you don't have a wok, a large skillet would work just fine. Prepare all the ingredients beforehand. Have everything chopped, sliced, and portioned to make the process smoother and more efficient. This dish cooks quickly, so you don't want to scramble for ingredients while stir-frying. Use high heat for a short amount of time to retain the freshness and crunchiness of the vegetables. Chinese cooking is all about quick and intense heat, so make sure your wok is hot enough before adding in the ingredients. Cuisine: Chinese Recipes. Author: Bee Yinn Low. 4.72 from 7 votes.
