Name: Beef, Mushroom, and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 pound flank steak; 3 tablespoons water; 7 tablespoons vegetable oil; 4 tablespoons soy sauce; 8 teaspoons cornstarch; 6 tablespoons plus 1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth; 1/4 white wine; 2 tablespoons oyster sauce; 4 teaspoons oriental sesame oil; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 6 quarter-size slices peeled fresh ginger, minced; 2 pounds broccoli, cut into florets (stems discarded); 1 pound mushrooms, sliced; rice

This popular menu classic is even better when made at home.

Variation: For a vegetarian entrée, use one 12-ounce package of firm or extra-firm tofu in place of the beef. Cut the tofu into 3/4-inch cubes and marinate as if using beef. Pork or chicken would also work for this recipe.

Recipe notes

Stir-Fried Phở Noodles With Beef

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.

Kung Pao Cabbage With Tofu

Reliable cabbage is cooked in the punchy sauce and then combined with store-bought baked tofu and roasted cashews for a salad that can also be eaten with rice.

Sizzling Mushroom and Tofu Sisig

For the full effect, enjoy over a bed of rice with a pint of cold beer.

Beef Stroganoff Ramen

This traditional dish of beef, sour cream, and mustard may have originated in Russia, but it’s about time for a version with ramen noodles, don’t you think?

Saucy Mushroom Stir-Fry

Any variety of mushroom will love this glossy, tangy sauce.

Crispy Tofu With Scallion-Ginger Sauce

The tofu is crunchy on the outside, in part thanks to a panko-studded exterior, and squishy-in-a-good-way on the inside. It also comes together in 20 minutes.

Mapo Tofu Salad

The pan-fried tofu is crispy yet pillowy, served with a punchy dressing that is made with the same bold flavors as mapo seasoning.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
