I make stir fry all the time with pasta or rice. If I want an East Asian flavor, I put soy sauce or a bit of fish sauce (warning, this aroma can be very strong). If I want a South Asian flavor, I add curry or garam masala or maybe just coriander seasoning. If I want Italian, I add chopped olives, basils, oregano, (like a basil pesto) and a bit of cheese (parmesan is best). Throw some nuts in if there are any. If i want sauce with it, i just add water.

It's the quickest way to cook and put dinner on the table in 20 minutes (cutting and cooking).

Sweet and sour sauce is my go to

Pad thai sauce

One fun thing to do is throw in cooked spaghetti noodles (broken up) and then some thinned out peanut satay sauce if you have that. You can thin with water and add a splash of soy sauce if you've got it. It's like a yummy lo mein dish.

Awesome, thanks everyone.

I have some cans of chicken broth. Are you saying stir fry using 1/2 cup of this + olive oil?

Cooking dinner for wife and daughter. Want to make a stir fry - chicken, green pepper, onion, peanuts. I stir fry with olive oil. If I make past with it, what kind of sauce would I use? Would I just take the olive oil I have been cooking with and pour everything over the pasta?
