I love Chinese food, but I barely make it because when you make it at home, it takes a lot of time to cut the veggies and when things are said and done, you just paid $15.00 worth of veggies and meat for fried rice! Cheaper and quicker to stop and pick it up. But just like my Throw together pasta, when I have some veggies I need to use, I consider a stir fry or pasta.
Ingredients:
Cabbage
Carrots
Green Onion
Vidalia Onion
Garlic
Asian Style Baby Back Ribs (leftover from the cookout the day before)
Soy, ginger and teriyaki marinade.
Steps
*Low heat on grill for 3 hours. Easy.
*I run the carrots and cabbage through my Mandoline. If you don’t have one, try the Borner V Slicer. For the money ($40), you can’t find a better one. It is important that the veggies are around the same size so they cook equally.
*Put a little oil in your pan and toss everything in (except green onions). It will take about 5-7 minutes for the veggies to soften up a little. Don’t go too soft though, you still want the cabbage to crunch a little (While it is cooking, I like to add a little soy sauce. I never use salt in Chinese cooking, I just add more soy if it needs salt.).
*After about 5-7 minutes, I add a little Terayaki and fold together.
*Add the green onions and you are done. If you like a little kick, top with some Saracha.
Btw, my favorite Teriyaki is “Soy Vay – Veri Veri Teriyaki.” It is usually $5-$6 a bottle, but you will not regret it. It is awesome on wings as well.

Good Stuff!
Looks good! I usually go the lazy route with stirfry, and buy a bag of frozen vegetables to go with some chicken breast. Here’s my go-to stirfry sauce:

Works every time
This stir fry looks so good! I don’t know if I have the patience for grilling the ribs… but will definitely make this…
Everyone should have a mandoline…they rock.
Soy-Vey “Veri Veri Teriyaki” is the best bottled Teriyaki sauce on the makret. SAdly it’s not easy to find in my area. I friggin’ love the stuff!!
Soy-Vey has been my favorite for many years. Best bottled stir fry “sauce” I’ve been able to find. Chopping veggies with the Shun is a hobby of mine, but I have to say my girlfriend picked up the Slap Chop and the thing actually works. Makes chopping a hell of a lot easier.
