I tried to make a stir-fry for dinner tonight using this basic recipe. Now I know a whole lot about what not to do when stir-frying.
I didn't have any soy sauce or bullion, so I went without the sauce. I also marinated in vinegar and some homemade apple wine I have, which even I admit is pretty bad. And I don't mean marinating as much as I mean soaking. So why it came time to stir-fry, it was more like a boil. And I used fresh broccoli from a bag that I just dumped in the pan. These florets were huge. There was no way they were gonna fry. So I added some more apple wine and sort of boiled them too.
The end result wasn't inedible, but it was far from good. Oddly, I'm not at all frustrated and my belly is quite happy to be full of hot homemade, if not so tasty, food. Tomorrow I'm thinking rice and beans.
