I like adding something sweet like grape juice with lots of savory spices like onion powder, garlic powder, etc.

I don't really use recipes for these kinds of things Smile

Sautee fresh garlic and ginger for 30 sec. Add red chilli flakes. Add some vinegar, sugar (and maybe some water) and a bit of cornflour to thicken. Boil it for a few minutes until it thicknes a little.

sautee your meat/tofu first, take it out of the pan and then sautee your veggies and finely chopped ginger, green onion and garlic at the end. Add seasoned/salted chicken broth mixed with a little cornstarch to make the sauce thicker. Cook until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Here it is in my mil style - very exact directions special for a newly married woman (me at the time!), so you really don't have to follow exactly what it says...

1 onion diced
2 medium zucchini sliced
1/2 each: yellow, red and orange pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 pound sliced mushrooms
3 boneless chicken breasts
2/3 cup water
2 Tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper

Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Saute onions in oil for 10 minutes. Add chicken squares and sauté and additional 15 minutes. Add vegetables and 2/3 cup water and cook covered for 20 minutes. Add dissolved cornstarch and spices to simmering mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

I usually use zucchini, bean sprouts, can of mushrooms, pepper, baby corn instead, because we like it better like that here. I also find that (these?) vegetables take a bit longer to cook - or maybe I just keep the flame too low usually... .but whatever. It tastes really good at the end.
