Let's talk stir fries.. I've recently decided to investigate the idea-
since it seems to be a good way of getting lots of veggies, some meat,
and doesn't have to use that much oil. Plus, I have a (stove top) wok! I
feel the urge to use it.

I've found lots of recipes online, but I was looking to see if anyone I
actually know has found success with specific recipes.

So do ya? :)

You know I never use a recipie when I stir fry for some reason.  I just 
throw stuff in.

I like this recipe, from Cooking Light:

Kung Pao Chicken

2 Tbsp canola or peanut oil (divided)
4 cup broccoli florets 
1 1/2 Tbsp grated ginger root (divided)
2 Tbsp water 
1 tsp Sirrachi sauce
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4" strips 
1/2 cup chicken broth 
2 Tbsp hoisin sauce 
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar 
2 Tbsp soy sauce 
1 Tbsp cornstarch 
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup coarsely chopped peanuts 

Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok. Add broccoli and 1/2 Tbsp 
ginger to pan; saut  1 minute. Add water. Cover; cook 2 minutes or until 
broccoli is crisp-tender. Remove broccoli from pan.

Heat remaining Tbsp oil in pan; add remaining 1 Tbsp ginger, Sirrachi 
sauce, and chicken. Cook 4 minutes or until chicken is lightly browned, 
stirring frequently.

Combine broth and next 5 ingredients (through garlic) in a small bowl, 
and stir with a whisk. Add broth mixture to wok; cook 1 minute or until 
mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Return broccoli mixture to pan; 
toss to coat. Sprinkle with peanuts.

Serve over brown rice.

resp:2 I'm going to have to try that, it sounds good! :)
