I can’t seem to let a two-week period go by without posting a new stir-fry recipe. Stir-fries are my go-to quick and easy meal, and they have a tendency to turn out delicious. This particular stir-fry is an attempt at replicating a dish I had at a Vietnamese restaurant a few weeks ago. I have no idea how close I came to the actual recipe, but this stuff was delicious, so I don’t really care. This dish is a bit more time-consuming than most stir-fries you’ll see on this site. I won’t say it’s labor intensive, because a lot of the cooking time is spent hanging out in the kitchen waiting for shallots to caramelize, or shiitakes to brown. Everything cooks in one skillet, but in stages. Cook something, clear it out, and cook something else. It’s worth it. Trust me. This turned out to be one of my favorite stir-fries ever.
