thanks everyone

ok i just cannot DO chinese stirfry-i have tried and ruined way too
many meals. it is just something i am bad at but i love to eat it

i figured at least a bottled stirfry would save me money over takeout

i tried the recipe i posted and added some sesame oil and chili paste
with garlic and it still was just not good, very bland and just blech

so i broke down and bought some kikkoman stir fry sauce (buy 1 get 1
free at least) and did a small stir fry with some oil with ginger and
garlic fried in it quickly then some steak strips and finally some
cabbage and scallions
fried it all on high again quickly until the oil coated everything and
the food was hot but the veg was still crispy

poured on the sauce added some chili paste

and it was GOOD

yay



the garlic and ginger fried beforehand gets you half-way there.
*pace* steve, i think kikkoman makes some good things, though i'd
rather make my own. you might check an asian market to see what they
have, as it would likely be cheaper.

i'm glad you came up with something you like.

your pal,
