CHINESE VEGETABLE STIR FRY
My daughter found this on ABCNEWS.com and has made it several times now. Sometimes we are missing an ingredient the recipe calls for so we just add something different. We use a 4 ounce can of sliced mushrooms instead of the shitake. We also use frozen broccoli and snow peas to speed this recipe up.

Steps:
- Wash the cooked spaghetti, make sure it is damp.
- Prepare broccoli florets. Peel and slice carrot. Slice button mushrooms into thin slices. Chop up garlic cloves.
- Heat up some olive oil in a wok. When hot, pour out excess oil from wok. (I don't like my food oily, so I do this; but it's optional.).
- Fry 1/2 of the chopped garlic until fragrant. Add carrots and stir-fry, making sure heat is evenly spread. After about a minute, add broccoli florets. Stir-fry for a few minutes, until broccoli begins to darken, and then add the mushrooms and continue stir-frying for about a minute.
- Turn heat down and add 1/2 cup water to the wok. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp mirin sauce. Continue stir-frying for a couple of minutes.
- Turn the stove off and cover the wok with a lid to make sure it remains warm.
- Prepare another wok by heating up some olive oil. Pour out any excess oil.
- Fry the rest of the garlic until fragrant. Add the spaghetti and stir-fry, making sure to mix well.
- Add 2 tbsp soy sauce (or to taste) and mix well. Turn heat down a little bit and add 1/4 cup water. Continue stir-frying for a few minutes before turning your stove off.
- Pour spaghetti and the spaghetti's 'sauce' into a plate. Add the vegetable stir-fry on top, making sure that the vegetable stir fry's sauce is also added inches.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut and wash your vegetables, and mince or grate any aromatics (such as garlic, ginger, or onion) before you start cooking. This will help you save time and ensure that your stir-fry cooks evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will give your vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding. If you don't have a large skillet or wok, you can cook your stir-fry in batches.
- Heat your skillet or wok over high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Add your vegetables to the skillet or wok in stages: This will help to prevent them from overcrowding and ensure that they cook evenly. Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as broccoli or carrots, and then add the more delicate vegetables, such as leafy greens or mushrooms, towards the end.
- Stir-fry your vegetables constantly: This will help to prevent them from burning or sticking to the skillet or wok. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir the vegetables gently but firmly.
- Season your stir-fry to taste: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a splash of soy sauce, fish sauce, or oyster sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve your stir-fry immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. You can serve them over rice, noodles, or tofu for a complete meal.
