Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi Everyone: I'm new to this list and I love stir fry vegetables, but never knew how to eat them before except with lots of butter, of course the thought of that makes me cringe now, but are there different ways to make stir frys taste great? I'm new to spices and how to flavor foods with different non animal based products and wanted to get some suggestions from the group. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi Alice: Thank you for such wonderful information! I'm a real newbiphile when it comes to spices, such as what they are, and where to buy them. Can you tell me what the following are? I've never heard of them: tamari? balsamic (is that vinegar?) vegetable stock (Do you mean such as College Inn?) Braggs liquid aminos?(never heard of them) Kaffir lime leaves? (never heard of them) I do all my shopping at walmart. Would I be able to find those things there? Gosh I feel like such an idiot when it comes to this. I'm new to this and want to learn all I can, but I guess I have to learn to crawl before I can walk. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Sometimes I just use a bit of low-sodium soy sauce and some garlic. Other times I make a ‘sauce’ with some vegetable stock, garlic and ginger, soy sauce, and thickened with a bit of cornstarch in water. Even my omnivore husband likes that!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hi Coop: How much vegetable stock , garlic, ginger and soy sauce do you use? Or is it season to taste? I don't have a clue of how much to put in. With my luck I put too much of one or the other and ruin the whole thing. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 You really can’t ruin it ... I don’t measure, but if it’s a big stir fry for both my hubby and me, I’d start with maybe 1-1/2 cups of vegetable stock, then I add a spoonfull each of fresh ginger and garlic (minced kind in a jar) and maybe half a cup of soy sauce. Mix a spoonful or 2 of cornstarch with 1/4 cup water and blend well, then when your sauce is about to boil just stir that in and keep stirring to thicken it.
