The main thing is to cook the meat with the wok as hot as possible. The temperature of the wok will drop within 30 seconds of contact with the meat. What that means is you need to stir fry the meat for 20 seconds, pull the meat up the sides until it sits there, until the bottom of the wok heats up again, then continue, and repeat. The goal is cooked meat with minimum liquid when you're done. Pull the meat up the sides when you stop cooking, to keep it from continuing to cook as much as is possible..

I used to make teriyaki sauce a lot. For me, I used what I called the 3 , 2 , 1 method,

3 parts soy sauce, 2 parts mirin (sweet Japanese liquid) and 1 part sake.

Just boil the ingredients for about a minute or so

Some notes on this version: you probably can skip the sake and mirin and just add a little bit of honey and water instead. I never tried it but it probably will work since teriyaki sauce basically tastes like diluted soy sauce with sugar added.

Another variation I like is to slightly thicken it with a very small amount of corn starch or flour.

Cook the meat first and in the last minute, add the teriyaki sauce to prevent burning of the sauce since sweetened ingredients tend to burn easily.

Typically the common meats that work well are chicken, beef, salmon and shrimp

I don't like chicken teriyaki, at all. It is just a bad flavor combo for me. OTOH I love, love, love, love, love steak teriyaki.

What I think is great with chicken is Thai sate (peanut sauce). If you live in Asia you can probably get somebody to show you how to make it. If you don't, and you live in a big city or a city with Asian stores, you can usually buy a package of sate mix that is really quite ok. You should slice the chicken into strips, run it through a bowl of sate mix, then grill the pieces. You can brush the pieces with more sauce as they cook, and serve the sauce on the side. Mmmm mmm!

The other thing that goes well with chicken is General Tso sauce. Could be a totally western myth and maybe there was never any such Chinese general, or maybe he hated chicken, but anyway the sauce is some kind of spicy garlic sauce and I think with sesame seeds.

Here is a super easy fried rice.

Just get some white rice from a Chinese restaurant and stick it in a refrigerator over night. The next day just reheat it in a nonstick pan with a little oil on medium heat level on your burner. (A wok is not necessary, a standard non stick pan is fine)

Add a chopped up fried egg to it ( cook the egg separately on medium heat) . When finished, add some hot sriracha sauce if you like spicy. (Or minced green onion to make it more fancy if desired)

This dish is so easy that it’s basically a 9th grade level skill

Would love to get the guts to try to cook Kung Pao Chicken some night. I love hot peppers or chilis or whatever they are and peanuts together!
