Down here in the rural south, it is hard to find Aisian ingredients, so a lot of substitution is called for.
Fortunately, I can get things like sesame oil fairly cheaply online.
The basics seem to be chicken stock, soy sauce, and rice wine or sherry, and cornstarch..use one or more of them in almost every recipe.
Tonight I cooked beef with broccoli..it was marvelous.
