As much as I love cooking, I don’tand can’tcook every day. If you are a home cook, I am sure you understand what I mean.

Some days, you wake up, open the refrigerator, look at the ingredients you have, and your mind just goes blank.

You either feel like you run out of cooking ideas, don’t know what to cook, don’t feel motivated to cook, or simply don’t want to cook.

It happens to me a lot and that’s when I go to the hot food section of Asian grocery stores and buy pre-cooked food.

If you live in California, there are plenty of such establishments, where you can get various types of ChineseTaiwanese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Thai dishes.

The offerings depend on the type of Asian grocery store you go to. I love Chinese food so I usually go to Chinese grocery store to get them.

    The perfect simple dish!
    I used Mirin, available at most grocery stores.
    And for some reason I was out of sugar so subbed Kekcap Manis for the soy and sugar.
    This wis my new fave all around stirfry sauce:)

    1. Jeff says:

      When I see both Soy Sauce and Sugar in a sauce recipe, I usually substitute Kecap Manis. I love the rich flavor of the palm sugar in the Kecap Manis.

      1. Rasa Malaysia says:

        Of course, you can’t go wrong with kecap manis. :)

  5. Her says:

    No oyster sauce what can I put instead.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You can use fish sauce or soy sauce.
