3. Which Vegetable is Ideal for the Vegetable Pan?

You can prepare almost any vegetable in the pan or in the wok, the decisive factor is the cooking time.

Green beans taste super delicious in a vegetable pan, but they have to be cooked in boiling salted water by a free swimmer beforehand, so that the bean is soft and edible.

For the vegetable pan I use some sugar peppers, red – yellow – green peppers, garlic, white cabbage, carrot.

Alternatively you can add Chinese cabbage, blanched broccoli or cauliflower, blanched green beans (in Austria these are called “Fisolen”) and onions.

4. Take Care of Hard and Soft Vegetables

Carrots are relatively hard vegetables and require a longer cooking time.

Peppers, on the other hand, are a relatively soft vegetable, which means they cook faster.

For this reason, carrots are usually cut into thin strips or sticks for the vegetable pan, because it has to go fast.

Professional chefs call this type of cut “Julienne”.

Peppers, on the other hand, may be cut into pieces and cooked in the pan.

I prefer the preparation in the pan, here is more hot surface for frying and keeping warm than in the wok. In addition, I think that most woks do not reach the desired heat on a normal hob.

If the frying pan or wok is too cold, the vegetables boil after a few minutes and the desired taste effect, which occurs during frying, does not occur.

The vegetable pan on the plate looks colourful…

5. Tofu in the Vegetable Pan

I like tofu very much and then I prefer to use the smoked tofu.

It tastes better to me and adds an extra taste to the vegetable pan.

The tofu is simply fried on both sides over high heat during this preparation.

If you want to bread the tofu with sesame, then have a look at the recipe tofu in sesam coat

it would be an increase in the demand and result, but more sophisticated.

6. Sauces Tip for the Vegetable Pan

My vegetable pan is clearly Asian and therefore the coriander fits perfectly. 

You can also carefully season it with curry or Chinese 7 spice mixture to create an individual note.

Would you like an increase? Leave out the coriander spice and prepare a coriander pesto from the fresh herb.

After serving, add some coriander pesto to the vegetables and the plate…

WOW SUPER FINE! Here is the short-cut recipe for the coriander pesto.

Coriander Pesto Recipe:

1 bunch of fresh coriander, 2 tbs roasted almond flakes, 150 ml sesame oil or peanut oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, 3 pinches cayenne pepper.

Crush all ingredients with a hand blender and pour into a glass.

I recommend a Basmati rice or a Sushi rice as a side dish to the vegetable pan.

I always serve the rice extra in a small bowl, so the vegetables on the plate look very nice.
