This a vegetarian version of Tema Tang Sha, as it is prepared at the Lhasa Moon Tibetan Restaurant, located in San Francisco. This is a flexible recipe. For the original meaty version, just add strips of beef stir-fried. Ingredients:
1 lb green beans |
2 large potatoes |
1/2 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced |
1/2 onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon oil |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1 inch fresh ginger, finely chopped |
1 jalapeno pepper, coarsely chopped |
1/2 tomato, chopped |
1 teaspoon soy sauce |
salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. Cut the green beans diagonally into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Cut the potatoes like french fries, about the same size as the beans.
3. Slice the red bell pepper very thinly.
4. In a wok or skillet, saute the onion in oil over high heat until softened, add the garlic, paprika and ginger and saute a few minutes more.
5. Add the potatoes, jalapeno and tomato, and stir-fry until the tomato cooks dry.
6. Add the green beans and stir-fry until just tender, about 8 minutes.
7. Add the soy sauce, red-pepper and salt stirring in quickly.
