Short of soup, I have eaten with chopsticks. Back in the 80s I was in college and taking martial arts. Met all my roommates through the Karate class and we lived a very oriental lifestyle in an occidental world.
Adding frozen greenbeans to stir fry is a great way to work them in.
I make my own oriental sauce
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
red pepper sauce to taste
1 teaspoon season rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
3 cloves garlic
mix this with anything and you have quick oriental at home.
To tie back to original thread, I peel the ginger and freeze it, works great. Grind on a box grater or microplane while frozen.
Actually I am 90% sure you can get frozen oriental vegetables in the bag, works great with boneless chicken breasts all stir fried with the sauce above. I am so cheap I actually save the packets of soy from chinese restaurants, find them out at work all the time. I have not bought soy sauce in years. for this I use two packets.
