Hi all,
I noticed that many recipies in this forum refer to either U.S. measures or to ingredients that are only avaiable in the U.S.
Therefore, I thought that I'd give a try with some recipies with measures in the metric system, so we Europeans don't have to bring the calculator in the kitchen :D
If someone can convert already posted recipies to metric measures, please do post it here (as a reply). If possible, please write the Fat Energy Percentage and/or WW points.
Well, um, here's the first recipe:
Stirfried turkey
Fat Energy Percentage: approx. 20%-25%
You need:
200 g of fresh shredded turkey breast (without the skin)
400 g of chopped veggies (whatever you like. Personally, I like to buy a so-called "Wok Mix" at my greengrocer's with baby corn, sweet peas, carrots, onions, bamboo sprouts and Chinese mushrooms)
1 tablespoon of lemon juice or dry white wine
a wee bit of wok-suitable oil (olive, peanut or sesame oil)
---
Before you start, pour the lemon juice or the white wine over the meat and let it stand for 5-10 minutes. This will tenderize the meat and keep it yummy and juicy no matter how long you cook it... (Hint: It's easy if you have one of them small oil spray pumps.)
Then heat up a medium-sized wok (or a deep pan) and stirfry the meat until it starts getting some colour. Eventually season the meat with curry and/or soy sauce.
Turn down the heat (to about medium) and pour the veggies in.
Fry the veggies for 5-10 minutes (depending on whether the veggies are frozen or not). Stir now and then.
Serve with boiled rice or noodles.
Enjoy!
