Ala Royal Recipe

A la Cart

1. 1

   Prep and season

   Choose the protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, or firm tofu) and cut into bite-sized pieces if needed. Pat dry. Season evenly with a pinch of salt and pepper. Rinse and prep the vegetables: baby corn halved, mushrooms sliced, snow peas trimmed, and onions sliced thin. Mince garlic. Have all ingredients measured and ready to go.

2. 2

   Sear protein

   Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the protein and sear until well browned on all sides and just cooked through. Remove to a plate and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté aromatics

   In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sliced onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

4. 4

   Cook vegetables

   Add mushrooms, baby corn, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.

5. 5

   Make roux and sauce

   Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for about 1 minute to cook the raw flour taste. Slowly whisk in chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then stir in heavy cream. Let the sauce thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Combine and finish

   Return the protein to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through. Stir in chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve Ala Royal hot over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
