This is the standard information I generally give for my stir-fry recipes. The sauce is what does the trick and the rest is up to you.





Most fresh veggies will work well in a stir-fry. Here are some simple combinations that always go great:





Onions


Carrots


Celery


Pea Pods


Bean Sprouts


Broccoli


Cabbage





You can get creative and add things like





Bok Choy


Savoy Cabbage


Bamboo Shoots


Mushrooms


Water Chestnuts


Zucchini





And the list goes on.





The meats are also up to you but chicken and pork always go well together. You could use in your stir fry:





beef strips


pork strips


chicken strips


shrimp


scallops





Any leftover meat you have that you can slice would work in there. Just add it at the end.





And, if you want to make the best sauce, here's what to use:





1/2 cup boiling water with 1 tsp chicken base (like a bouillon cube but moist)


2 ';glugs'; of soy sauce


2 ';glugs'; of oyster sauce


1/2 tsp ground ginger


black pepper to taste


5 drops sesame oil





Mix all that together and sprinkle it on your veggies as they cook. Remember not to overcook the veggies. Always start with the veggies that take the longest to cook. Things like pea pods and bean sprouts are always the last to go in.





Once all the sauce is added, to thicken it, mix 1 tablespoonful of cornstarch with some cold water - enough to make a thin paste. Move the veggies over and add a little to the broth in that area. It will start thickening up pretty quick. Stir it around and do it in another area until all the sauce is glossy and coating the veggies (don't do too much, though). Be sure to cook your noodles until el dente in a separate pan and add just before adding the cornstarch.What is a good recipe to use my wok with?Either beef or chicken would be main ingredients?
CHINESE STIR-FRY





1 pound chicken, round steak, or pork, cut into bite-size pieces or strips


Cornstarch


Soy sauce


1/2 - 1 tsp. chopped or minced garlic, fresh or from a jar, water- or oil-pack


2 Tbsp. cooking oil: vegetable, peanut, or canola


Vegetables cut into bite-sized pieces (3 - 5 cups raw)


Cooked rice or pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, capellini)





In a small bowl, mix 1 Tbsp. cornstarch with 1 Tbsp. soy sauce and 1/2 to 1 tsp. garlic. (If you must, you can substitute 1/2 tsp. garlic powder for minced garlic.) Stir to coat meat. Flavor sinks in if you let meat sit in the mixture for a while [30 minutes to all day], in the refrigerator. Leave the soy sauce and corn starch out--you'll be using them again. Tip: You鈥檒l need the tablespoon measure for the cornstarch again, so use a different one for the soy sauce.





When you鈥檙e ready to cook, start the rice first. (White rice goes from cold water and raw rice to cooked in 20-25 minutes.)





Heat oil in large skillet or wok. Stir-fry meat until it shows no pink or red, about five to seven minutes. Don't worry about some of the sauce mixture sticking to the pan. Add vegetables (broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms, bok choy, red or green pepper, thinly-sliced carrots, coarsely chopped onion, canned baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, straw mushrooms, etc.) and stir fry about five to seven minutes, to heat through and to fully cook crisp veggies (broccoli, carrot strips) and to allow mushrooms to release their liquor.





In a small bowl or cup, mix 1/3 c. cool water, 1/4 c. soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp. cornstarch. Pour into skillet or wok and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens. Serve over cooked rice or pasta.





The trick to making the sticky rice that goes right is to use short-grain or medium-grain rice and to get to know your own stove. On mine, I bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil, throw in 1 cup of short-grain rice, and reduce the heat to low. It takes exactly 18 minutes. In our old house, it was 16.
Any sort of Stir-Fry would be great for a chicken based meal just add white rice some soy sauce your chicken and some stir fry veggies (broccoli) and any salty seasoning you desire.
