Yasai Itame - Japanese Stir Fry Vegetables Recipe (野菜炒め)

Today, I will show you how to make Yasai Itame, Japanese stir fry vegetables. This is a healthy dish since most of the ingredients are veggies. It’s also pretty quick and easy to make which is great for any busy weekdays. Just like with any stir fry dish, yasai itame tastes the best when cooked in a wok. But you can also use regular pan. Your yasai itame will still be delicious. Use gluten free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce if you have gluten allergy. The key for a good stir-fried dish is to work fast when you’re stir frying. Therefore, all the ingredients need to be prepped and ready to go into the pan. Make sure you rinse and dry all the veggie before using. Please check out my video for a more detailed instruction: https://youtu.be/x3agg4FrHCw

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 people

Cooking time :

30 minutes

4 oz

sliced pork belly

4 cups

chopped cabbage (4 – 5 cabbage leaves)

4 oz

bean sprouts

1/2 cup

sliced carrot

1 cup

string beans/snap peas/green pepper

1 cup

sliced yellow onion

– 9 slices of ginger

1 clove

garlic

1 tablespoon

soy sauce

1/2 tablespoon

oyster sauce

1/2 teaspoon

salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Thinly slice the yellow onion

* Step 2

Peel the carrot skin before cutting it diagonally into thin slices. I use about half of a carrot.

* Step 3

Thinly slice the green bell pepper. I used a combination of string beans, bell pepper and snap peas but you can just use one cup of either one of them.

* Step 4

If you use snap peas, remove the stem, then pull the string with it and cut them in half

* Step 5

Do the same for the green beans and cut them into 2” long

* Step 6

Peel the ginger skin and cut 8 to 9 thin slices

* Step 7

Thinly slice the garlic clove

* Step 8

Chop the cabbage leaves into bite-sized pieces. I have about 4 or 5 leaves here.

* Step 9

Cut the pork belly slices to about 2” long

* Step 10

Turn the heat on medium-high or high depending on your stove. Heat up 1 tbsp of oil.

* Step 11

Add the ginger and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant.

* Step 12

Add sliced yellow onion and continue to stir fry for another minute

* Step 13

Add the pork belly and cook until it’s no longer pink. Pork belly is a fattier cut. Therefore, I didn’t add a lot of oil in the beginning. The fat released from the pork belly will be enough to stir fry everything.

* Step 14

Add the carrot. You want to add the veggies that take longer to cook in first. Stir continuously.

* Step 15

Add the green beans, snap peas and bell pepper to the mix and stir for a few seconds

* Step 16

Add the cabbage and bean sprouts

* Step 17

For the seasoning, add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce and 1/2 tsp of salt. Keep stirring. You can adjust the salt according to your liking.

* Step 18

The entire stir-frying process takes me between 6 to 8 minutes. You want the vegetables cooked but still crunchy, not soft and wilted. Turn off the heat and transfer yasai itame into a serving plate.
