Step by Step Method

Step 1

Assemble and prepare all ingredients and set aside.

Step 2

Heat large skillet, add 1 Tbsp. of the sesame oil, the vegetable oil, and the water and heat on moderately high heat.

Step 3

When the mixture is quite hot, stir-fry the "hard" vegetables.

Step 4

When they are halfway to crisp-tender, add the "medium" vegetables, then the "soft" ones, which should just wilt. For sprouts, this takes 2-3 minutes; pea pods--5-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir till all of the vegetables are crisp-tender, then turn off the heat and leave uncovered while making the sauce.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. sesame oil in a heavy saucepan, then add the garlic and sauté over low heat.

Step 7

Pour stock (pineapple juice) over the garlic, then add the soy sauce, sherry, ginger, vinegar, and honey.

Step 8

Dissolve the cornstarch in a little cold water before adding to the liquid in the pan.

Step 9

When the liquid is just about to boil, lower heat and whisk in the cornstarch.

Step 10

Heat just till thick, stirring constantly.
