Governor X's Kitchen: Swedish Wok Vaguely Chinese Stir Fry

What's all this then? Governor X's Kitchen has returned? Oh yes, and we've bought a Swedish wok from Ikea. Clear a path!

First up in the wok was curry chicken...but it didn't turn out so well. We'll try that again later. Take two was a vaguely Chinese stir fry with fresh eggplant and bell pepper. It was superb. Here's what you'll need, in addition to the wok obviously. Those are $5.99 at Ikea, so you don't have an excuse anymore. Go buy one, then grab these ingredients:

3 oz steak
1 green bell pepper
3/4 cup eggplant (approximate)
1 large garlic clove
1 cup Trader Joe's stir fry vegetables
salt
3 tablespoons organic soy sauce (approximate)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Here's what you do with them...

1) Trim the fat off your steak and then cut it into bite size pieces. Sprinkle with a dash of salt and around one tablespoon of soy sauce. Set this aside.
2) Cut up the eggplant and bell pepper into bite size pieces. Prepare one cup of the stir fry mixed veg.
3) Finely chop the clove of garlic.
4) Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the wok and add the garlic. Saute the garlic until you get the aroma.
5) Add the steak and cook until both sides of the meat are no longer red.
6) Add the eggplant, bell pepper, and mixed vegetables. Add around 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the wok.
7) Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally until the eggplant is thoroughly cooked (8 minutes maybe?). You don't want raw eggplant, but conveniently enough when its cooked, the rest of the vegetables and meat will be ready too.
8) Plate & serve. You can obviously serve with rice, soup, or any other side that you chose to. I opted to just eat the stir fry.



New to Governor X's Kitchen - nutrition facts! Yeah, if you're on a low sodium diet, you should probably just move along...and never think about using soy sauce again.
