How to cook Vegetable Stir Fry

1. Stir Fry Instructions:
2. Note: cook the vegetables to how you like them I usually stir fry them until the broccoli is wilted looking around 5 to 7 minutes.
3. In a large wok or deep frying pan,  add 2 tablespoons of the oil of choice.
4. Add the cabbage, other vegetables you choose to use,  garlic, salt, pepper to taste and cayenne or ginger if using.
5. Saute until desired softness usually 3 to 4 minutes for normal stir fry until you like the vegetables softer.
6. In a small cup mix the cornstarch with water and stir until smooth.
7. Add the honey or brown sugar to the soy sauce and pour it into the stir fry mixing together.
8. Stir in the cornstarch until the mixture thickens around 1 minute. 
9. If this becomes too thick add more water or if you like rice wine vinegar add just a few tablespoons of that to thin it out. 
10. For the meat, if you have meat lovers in the house shake the meat into seasoned flour stir fry the meat in a separate pan until cooked to your preference.
11. As suggested above the stir fry can be a topping over (cooked to package instructions) rice,  angel hair pasta, ramen noodles, or baked regular, mashed or sweet potatoes.
