Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

For an Asian flair with plenty of protein try this new stir fry recipe that’s sure to add some sizzle to your weeknight.

Servings: Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbl of olive oil
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp of garlic, minced
  • 1, 1” piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into narrow matchstick-shaped pieces
  • 4 ounces of shiitake mushrooms. Stems removed, caps cut into strips
  • 2 cups of broccoli floret pieces
  • 1 tsp of grated orange peel (fresh or dry)
  • ½ cup of fresh orange juice
  • ¾ lb of cooked shrimp, scallops and lobster. You can choose one or all 3. Using cooked seafood makes this super-fast. You can also use uncooked shrimp and scallops and have great results. Lobster is a little trickier because of the shell. I cooked two little tails and removed the flesh.*
  • 1 cup of snow peas, strings removed
  • 1 Tbl of sesame oil
  • ¼ cup of minced cilantro

Instructions:

In a large saute pan, heat your oil on medium high. Add the yellow onion and cook until loosened. Then add the garlic and the ginger along with the mushrooms and broccoli. Cook just a couple of minutes to warm up the mushrooms and the broccoli.

Next add the grated orange peel and the orange juice. Cook until OJ is hot and bubbling. Just a minute or so more. Stir often to get the broccoli exposed to the heat on all sides. Now, get ready to eat because once you do this last step you’ll want to plate and enjoy immediately. This dish cools off quickly.

For the last step add the snow peas and the seafood. Cover the pan and cook one minute; just to heat the snow peas and seafood.

Serve in bowls and drizzle on a bit of sesame oil and sprinkle on cilantro. You’re ready to eat.

*If you decide to use raw shellfish you’ll need to cook them in the juice mixture for about 3 minutes to make sure they are fully cooked; no opaque parts. In order to do this you might need to add a little more OJ or water to make sure you still have sauce left at the end.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

The sweetness of the apricot jam combined with the mild bite of the fresh, cracked black pepper corns and the smokiness of the ham make for a savory combination of flavors.
