Prepare about 800 ml of vegetable or meat broth and add the following: 1 tbsp oyster sauce 3 tbsp light soy sauce 2 tbsp dark soy sauce optionally 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce to tasteStir everything together. Now it’s time for the Hot Wok: Add oil to the wok and then all the vegetables. Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat, tossing constantly. Season generously with a wok spice mix of your choice.
