Sorry, the only possible way to make a stir fry is to open a bottle of
<someones> sauce and pour. I always laugh when we occasionally go to a
regional market chain (Wegmans) where they have a tabloid style magazine
stacked out by the door with all of the "secrets" to making "great"
food. Every single recipe involves "open a jar/bottle of Wegmans xxxxx
sauce..."
