Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Pickle the onion
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup] for pickling; finely chop enough additional onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup] for your protein.
- Juice the lime.
In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced onion and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook your protein
Ground meat:
- Cut a small corner from the ground meat packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the ground meat and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Shrimp:
- Rinse and drain the shrimp. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate; cut into ½-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shrimp and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are firm but not yet cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook until the shrimp are cooked through, about 30 seconds.
Tofu:
- Pat the tofu dry with paper towels; cut into ½-inch cubes.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook until the tofu is heated through, about 30 seconds.
Plant-based chicken:
- Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; cut into ½-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the plant-based chicken and finely chopped onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] stir-fry blend and cook until the plant-based chicken is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the pan with your protein from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and more stir-fry blend, if desired. While your protein is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
