- 4 to 6 hotdogs or 1 can of SPAM or
8-ounces of baloney
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 4 large carrots
- 2 or 3 stalks celery
- 1 onion, sliced
- Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper to
taste
- Cooked Rice
When you prepare this recipe, you may use
whichever meat you have available. They all
taste good in this recipe. Try to cut the
meat into narrow "match-stick" sized pieces.
This shape is called julliene. I cut the
hotdogs by slitting them long-ways into 4 to
8 long "worms". Then I quarter them
short-ways to get a lot of pretty, skinny
julliened hotdogs. Baloney can be stacked
after removing the red plastic, and then cut
into long skinny strips. Cut the Baloney in
half, or thirds the other way and you will
have pretty pieces. The SPAM is easy to cut
and stack and slice into slivers.
The carrots are cut into narrow slices and
then each slice is cut in half. The celery
is cut into thin slices and the onion is
halved and then sliced into thin half-moons.
After preparing the vegetables and meat set
it all aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high
heat. Add the vegetables. Stir-fry the
veggies for at least 5 minutes, or until the
onions begin to turn tender. Add the hot
dogs or other meat. Cook and stir until the
meat browns slightly. Season with Garlic,
Salt & Pepper to taste. Add about 2 or 3
tablespoons of water to the skillet. Stir
quickly until the water evaporates. There,
you are done. Serve the stir-fry over cooked
rice. Makes 4 servings.
The spiciness of the meat, the sweetness of
the carrots, the subtle bitterness of the
celery and the piquancy of the onions make
this dish quite good.
VARIATION: If desired you can add 2 or 3
cups of finely sliced cabbage in addition to
the other vegetables. Add them to the dish
along with the other veggies.
Homemade bean sprouts are also a nice
addition. Add them at the end, right before
servings. Bean sprouts are best if they
aren't overcooked.
