HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE



Ham and Peppers Stir Fry With Sweet and Sour Sauce image

We call this "Ham and Peppers" but there's onion and pineapple too. This is a great quick meal and an excellent use for leftover ham. The recipe was originally from a Doubleday Cookbook but has evolved during the past 12 years to suit our taste--we like the ham and onions slightly browned and the peppers crisp/tender. Serve over steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste. Note that this dish is best just after it's thickened and it doesn't reheat that well, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups diced cooked ham
2 tablespoons butter (Divided in thirds)
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks (don't drain) or 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple tidbits (don't drain)
1 medium onion, peeled cut in half and quartered
1 medium bell pepper, cored seeded, and cut in 1/2 inch strips (your favorite color)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar (or 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 tsp. molasses)
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
  • When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
  • Remove and set the ham aside.
  • Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
  • When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
  • When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
  • Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
  • Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
  • Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
  • Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN STIR FRY



Sweet and Sour Chicken Stir Fry image

I like S&S chicken, but not too sweet. The banana ketchup has some sweetness to it already, so I skip the sugar. Suit yourself! It works either way!

Provided by Carolyn Haas

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 oz fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
1 large chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 medium onion, cut into wedges
1/2 medium red pepper, diced
1/4 c sliced carrot rounds
2 Tbsp banana ketchup (or regular ketchup with an added 1 tb brown sugar)
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp salt - or to taste
2 Tbsp cornstarch - divided
1 tsp peanut oil (use your favorite to stir fry)
few dash(es) sesame oil - for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup of water, ketchup and the brown sugar if using regular ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and 1 Tb. cornstarch. (I buy my fresh pineapple cored, so there's usually a little pineapple juice in the bottom of the container - use that instead of water if you have it!) Set aside.
  • 2. Put rest of cornstarch in a zipper bag, add chicken and shake to coat.
  • 3. In wok, heat oil, add chicken and veggies. Stir fry until chicken is cooked. Make a well in the center. Add reserved liquid mixture. Stir until mixture thickens. Add pineapple chunks. Sprinkle a few drops sesame oil on top. Serve with rice.

SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP VEGETABLE STIR FRY

I know, shrimp doesn't sound very vegetarian, so on the nights we have vegetarian company I substitute portabella mushrooms instead. I also use corn starch sometimes to thicken the sauce and sometimes use gluten free soy sauce to change the sauce flavor a little or add some additional pineapple juice to make it a little more...

  • 2. Mix the lime, orange, pineapple juices together heat and thicken if you choose to. You can also add more pineapple juice if desired or add some soy or Tamara sauce to taste.
  • 3. In a hot wok, add oil of your choice. Cook the shrimp until pink and done put into a separate large bowl. Cook each vegetable separately until they are just warm but not done to be soft. Add each cooked vegetable into the bowl.
