Hey /ck/
Rate my stir fry.
- Chicken breast (marinated in soy sauce and rice wine vinegar)
- Peppers
- Green onion
- Yellow onion
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Chili flakes
- Sauce: soy, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, corn starch
Next time I'll throw the yellow onion in much later so it stays crunchy. Used breast instead of thighs because it's less calories.
2 points for marinating
few extra points for stir frying

Looks good.
For the sauce I would personally add some oyster sauce and maybe some sambal for a little kick.
Slice the chicken thin for stir fry so it's crunchy on outside and soft inside https://youtu.be/mCknnSo6djI?t=50s
Only time I've seen thick chicken like that is General Tao type fried chicken

Looks good to me. Maybe find some bean sprouts and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Got any rice?
>>8903195
Add some mushrooms and snow peas.

try Shao Shing wine instead of vinegar next time, and skip the corn starch.

When I was in Thailand the street vendors used olive oil too instead of sesame or peanut oil (note, not extra virgin olive oil because reg olive has a higher smoke point) unless they were frying stuff then it was just generic canola or peanut oil. I hardly saw anybody using sesame oil which surprised me I assume it costs more.

Looks slimy and not cooked enough
yeah slice thinner and use higher heat / less stuff in the pan to get that stir fry feel
if your pan is crowded you end up steaming the food instead of frying it
i wish i owned a fucking wok
i'd add cashews to this but i'm a fiend for nutz
thanks man happy cooking

a little sugar is nice and will add a sheen to your sauce.

they just told you it was olive oil because they assumed that is what you'd want to hear. In reality it was probably palm oil or something

Stir fry is the last bastion of the culinary challenged.

Sesame oil is for flavoring stuff, not for frying it.
If you meant that nobody uses it for flavoring stuff, that's probably because they're Thai and they can't afford it. Besides, it's not really a Thai thing AFAIK.

Soy sauce is always way too strong in a stir fry for me. Just use the vinegar and toss in some fish sauce.
>>8903195
Needs rice, but otherwise looks dank as fuck.

One of the beautiful things about stir fry is it's easy as fuck and there are no right or wrong ways to do it.
Just toss in a bunch of ingredients that you like and add in whatever sauces you like.
