Chinese Vegetarian Stir Fry Recipe

[LuvHealthNConception]

i wish you lived closer :( lol

[illegalsmilereturns]

OK, I made a whole bunch of substitutions here and it turned out fantastic! Stopped mid plate to write this.....

Used a 750g bag of 6 mixed veggies

Subbed the sherry for white vinegar and finally out of pure desperation subbed white flour for cornstarch! Poor Canadian remix, lol.

Thank-you so much Lila!

*****<---five stars for you Lila (older members might remember these,haha)

@illegalsmilereturns Thank you so much for writing this! This is great! And I'm so glad the flour worked out too :)

[shalinimotwani9]

dont we need salt as a basic ingrednt .. and blck pepper tpoo???



[TheWolfinspirit]

you could use oyster sauce for extra quickness but only if your not strictly veggie *smiles

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@TheWolfinspirit Yes; and If you want to use oyster sauce instead of the soy sauce based sauce for this recipe and are vegetarian, there is also a mushroom based oyster sauce available as well :)

wow ur really pretty idk wats ur race spanish or asian? cnt tell : / , btw i love ur videos

[foreverlikeme]

what is sherry

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@foreverlikeme Sherry is a wine and in this recipe I use cooking sherry which can usually be found in most local grocery stores near the vinegar :)

u have a nice kitchen!!!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@fullonevil1125 Thank you :)

[ChaChaDave]

Hi. This looks real tasty.

[hotlavaflows4u]

Nice sauce! I like the sherry wine...and it tastes best with cornstarch to thicken...unless you have a swallowing problem? lol....I substituted my own combination of Asian veggies and added some thin sliced meat....

[barpaza]

You would need to use cornstarch if you want it to have the right consistency , there is really nothing else you can put instead. Watery won't work

[SamsonSessionz]

Hi again. Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your suggestions :)

[SamsonSessionz]

Hi, I just have two questions.. I don't want to use the cornstarch. Would it make a difference?  Also, could the peanut oil be substituted with sesame oil. Sorry if it sounds like a silly question, I'm still learning :)

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@SamsonSessionz Hi - These are good questions. The cornstarch actually thickens the sauce, but if you like the sauce watery then you can leave it out. For the oil, you need one with a high smoke point - one that does not burn at high temperatures. Sesame oil has a low smoke point, so it would not be good. Vegetable or corn oil would work if you wanted to use one of those :)

[xPurpleHazeReaprx]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy So olive oil is a NO no?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@xPurpleHazeReaprx Olive oil is not good for stir frying mainly b/c it burns at high temperatures. It also imparts a different flavor that is not usually found in Asian food :)

[TheChipendale]

that soy sauce brand you recommend?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

I always use Kikkoman soy sauce :)

[TheChipendale]

I can put carrots broccoli and cauliflower

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Yes, those would be good in this :)

[vanillamagic7]

Do you use the same shot of making thickener in all of your videos? The cornstarch is always in the exact same place in the cup and you add the same amount of water in the same cup and say the same things.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Actually no I don't, but that's pretty funny that I basically do the exact same thing :)

[moewishaw]

Hi I don't want to use the alcohol in the recipe. Would this make a huge difference overall?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

There would be a little difference in flavor, but not huge :)

[piousl]

I love your videos: you explain everything so clearly, something a lot of videos (and recipes) don't do!

One question: is there a reason why you don't use Oyster sauce? Also, is there a reason why you use that much water?

Thanks again for your videos!

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

I use oyster sauce in some recipes, although I haven't posted many with it in them. In this recipe I didn't use it b/c I wanted it to be vegetarian :)

I used 3 tbsp of water in this recipe to cut the soy; or were you refering to a different recipe?

Thanks for watching and for writing :)

[piousl]

Oysters: of course, I forgot they aren't vegetables :-) If being 100% vegetarian weren't a problem, though, would you use it?

I don't think I've seen another recipe that called for water + soy, so I was just wondering about that (I'm still learning!)

Thanks

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Yes I would use it - it imparts a slightly different and unique flavor :)

[theproducegarden]

looks great

[buddyd007]

looks like a tasty recipe

[droxsstudios]

Oh thank you very much :).

[ericpryde71]

i use La Choy brand as I have never been able to find Asian Gourmet brand in my area is there any significant difference in the two? and on a side note your vids are excellent as they have answered a lot of questions Ive had about Asian cooking and I appreciate you for taking the time to make them. :)

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

This is a great question. To me there is no difference in the brands. I use the Asian Gourmet simply because that is what the grocery store here carries. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching :)
