In the USA, anything labeled "vegetable oil" is soybean oil. The
other cheap oil is Canola, which also has an off taste. Peanut oil
is fine. It's what I use in my fryers. The best neutral oil is
high oleic sunflower. In Europe, pretty much all the sunflower oil
is of the high oleic type, which is extremely low in polyunsaturated
fat. In the USA, they still grow mostly the higher polyunsaturated
type, which tastes fine, but is far less healthful.

When I make vegetarian stir fries, tamari provides that umami
kick, and the addition of egg, especially egg cooked where 100%
of the white is sold, and most of the yolk is still runny, is
stick-to-your-ribs enough to feel like a meal that included meat.
