Aug. 6, 2009 - Basic Stir Fry This recipe must be so un-authentic it may well be an insult to the name.  I'm not sure; I'm just saying that because I did a search and couldn't find anything like it online.  It's adapted from a Better Homes and Gardens recipe from the 80s.  We use it quite a bit for its versatility and the fact that it doesn't have any ingredients that cost too much, like rice wine. Basic Stir Fry 1/2 cup cold water* 3 Tablespoons soy sauce.  (That's a LOT of salt.  You may want to cut back.) 1 Tablespoon cornstarch 1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 Tablespoon oil 1 cup cooked meat - chicken, turkey, ground meat, pork 3 cups frozen or fresh vegetables, a mix of anything you have on hand (chopped into small, uniform pieces, if fresh,) Cooked rice Make the sauce by stirring together the first 6 ingredients.  (*We make and freeze our own chicken broth, so instead of the water and bouillon, I just substitute 1/2 cup broth, and it works fine.) Preheat a large skillet over high heat and add cooking oil.  Add frozen/fresh vegetables, cook and stir for three minutes, then push to the outer edges of the skillet, making a well in the center. Pour sauce into well and cook and stir until thickened, about two minutes.  Mix everything together thoroughly, and cover and cook for about 4 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender/to your liking.  Add meat, stir well and let heat through, about 2 minutes more. Serve over rice.  4 servings.
