Peach-and-Snow Pea Stir-Fry Recipe

Peach-and-Snow Pea Stir-Fry

Serves 4

A teriyaki sauce comes together quickly and easily, so make your own at home rather than buying a commercial brand.

Teriyaki Sauce

⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbs. sherry or sake
¼ cup sugar, or to taste
1 ½ Tbs. grated fresh ginger
2 Tbs. minced garlic
2 Tbs. cornstarch

Stir-Fry

8 oz. water chestnuts
2 oz. teriyaki-flavored baked tofu
8 oz. sliced bamboo shoots
4 oz. round or flat rice stick noodles
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
1 peach, sliced
3 oz. snow pea pods, trimmed

To make Teriyaki Sauce: Combine all ingredients in small bowl, and set aside.
To make Stir-Fry: Place water chestnuts, tofu and bamboo shoots in Teriyaki Sauce, and set aside.
Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to a boil, and cook noodles until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse and drain again. Set aside.
Heat oil in large wok or skillet over medium heat. When hot, add water chestnuts, tofu, bamboo shoots and Teriyaki Sauce, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add peach slices and snow pea pods, and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat, and set aside.
To serve, portion noodles on individual plates, and spoon Stir-Fry over top.

Wine Suggestions

A suitable wine match for teriyaki is often Riesling; and one of the flavor characteristics often attributed to fruit-forward Riesling is "peachy." Try any Riesling made by Lingenfelder Estate.
