RR, could you please post your stir fry sauces again? I have them saved in Mastercook, but can't access then with the Linux Operating System my DH installed.

    Here ya go in Ruthanna's own words.

    I like to make stir fry sauces on the weekend and refrigerate them for use later in the week. Sometimes I'll stop at the grocery store salad bar and buy just enough vegetables for a stir fry. All three of these come from the now-defunct cafeteria Eden, which was located in downtown Philadelphia PA:
    STIR FRY SAUCES
    Each recipe makes 2 servings but can be doubled.

    1/ 2 tsp. minced ginger
    1/ 2 cup chicken broth
    1 Tbs. soy sauce
    1 Tbs. brown sugar
    1/ 8 tsp. Tabasco
    1/ 2 tsp. salt
    1/ 4 tsp. pepper
    1 1/ 2 tsp. lemon or lime juice
    1 1/ 2 tsp.cornstarch
    1 Tbs. rice wine or sherry
    Heat the sesame oil in a small saucepan. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry 15-30 second over medium heat to bring out the flavor. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Tabasco, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring just to a boil, stirring. Dissolve the cornstarch in the wine and whisk into the sauce. Heat until sauce thickens and reaches a full boil. Simmer for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside.

    Combine the pepper, soy sauce, chicken broth, sugar and lemon juice. In a small saucepan heat the sesame oil. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute until soft but not browned. Add the soy sauce mixture and bring just to a boil. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and let boil 20 seconds. Remove from the heat.

    Thanks, Beverly. I was at work when I saw this. Geez, Lisa, will you ever be able to get your recipes back from the computer?

    Thanks also, Beverly.
    I can access them, but it involves opening the Virtual Windows program. I wanted to have your recipes within "reach" at all times. LOL
    Nice "seeing" you. Hope everything is going good with you. I have missed you.
