Ingredients are correct, estimating the proportions however.

------------

1 cup broccoli chopped
1 cup cauliflower chopped
1 1/2 cups snow peas
1/2 can of baby corn (about 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup firm tofu, 1 inch cubes
1/3rd cup okra, sliced length wise
small amount of fresh grated ginger
2 cloves of minced garlic
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 table spoons sesame oil
2 table spoons soy sauce

On high heat, heat wok with canola oil until near smoke point, put in tofu,
broccoli, cauliflour, baby corn, okra. Stir for 3 minutes. Add teriyaki,
garlic, soy, sesame oil and snow peas. Stir for 2 more minutes.

Serve on fresh bed of steamed white rice.

Sounds good... The only thing I'd have added would have been a little
Oyster sauce, and maybe some sesame seeds.

Stir fried okra somehow doesn't seem right.

Needs a pound of ground pork, and a thickened sauce. And rice of
course.

It was "use it or lose it", so we tried it out. Certainly wasn't bad, and
there wasn't alot of it, maybe 4 or 5 okra, halved length wise.

I made a smaller second batch later on, used some black bean sauce instead.
I prefer black bean, the SO prefers teriyaki. Both were Golden Dragon
brand.

It was "use it or lose it", not common but we liked it anyways.

There was rice, as mentioned. We do plenty of pork and beef dishes, tried
something lighter this time.

As I mentioned to Blake, I used black bean sauce the second time around. I
do have oyster sauce, and more vegies that need to be used, maybe I'll do
that later today. Nice to change up the flavours . Sesame seeds do sound
good too.

Do sesame seeds burn quickly? put those in near the end?

Maybe some day you'll learn how to make a _real_ stir-fry.
Teriyaki sauce? Okra? <shudder>

You are welcome to follow someone elses rules of what is "real", and
continue being the sheep that you are. I will cook what I want, and if I
like it I will do it again.

I noticed you didn't mention whether this was good, or if you'd
do it again.

I'm sure glad nobody served me this atrocity.

Okra is a perfectly valid stir fry ingredient, but I use only the
smaller ones and leave them whole. :)

I'll also use Teryaki sauce if I am in the mood for it.

There are NO RULES when it comes to stir fry's imho!

Could have froze it. Okra freezes well. I've been harvesting mine,
slicing into rounds and stuffing zip-locs. I prefer to use okra
during the colder months for soups/stews. Even 4-5 okra pods adds
good body to a vegetable soup. I could never understand the
attraction of fried okra, too much work for very little... seems more
an excuse to eat a lot of fried breading. I much rather fried green
tomatoes, nice thick juicy slabs dusted with seasoned cornmeal and pan
fried... fried in bacon fat, then makes the ultimate BLT

Try a little sesame oil as just a seasoning on it. I also make all kinds of
mixed vegetable type stir fries. Black bean paste oyster sauce I also mix
and match along with fresh ginger, soy sauce, Chile garlic sauce, sake, rice
wine vinegar and even honey sometimes. I use a little corn starch to thicken
any of the sauces after the vegetables are cooked. It does make a nice light
meal too.

Thanks Joe. I did use sesame oil (see OP), and black bean sauce for second
round as mentioned in another reply in this thread. We were looking for a
'light' vegie meal where the vegie taste was the showcase, just a simple
coated flavour from the added sauces rather than a full sauce itself.

We use chili garlic sauce for many other dishes, sometimes just a
garnish/side, or sometimes as a full sauce. Craving some Mo Pu Tofu now :)

Thanks for the ideas.

I agree, no rules, other than fry it and stir it :)

You must go 'baaa baaa' all the way to the grocery store. Learn to try
something different, you might be slightly less boring.

You might also want to try using some fresh minced garlic and a good soy
sauce instead of the "teriyaki" sauce. Those sauces never taste right to me.
