Electric Wok should work fine. I've even used a deep electric frypan in
the past. Worked OK but I wouldn't say great. The heat distribution in
the Wok would be better. As to sauces, almost anything you fancy will
work. One of the beauties of this type of meal is that it is so
informal, so there are really few "rules". Just stick to the idea of
sweet/sour/salt/hot & you cant go too far wrong.
