Here is a simple stir fry recipe from my mother that is very basic in nature. You do not have to use a wok, a large skillet would be fine.
BROCCOLI, NOODLE, AND SHRIMP STIR-FRY
• 1 package (3 oz.) oriental noodle mix
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 and ½ teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice or white vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 2 cups broccoli flowerets
• Bias-sliced carrots (about ½ cup)
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Break noodles into pieces; reserve seasoning packet. Place noodles in a 1-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add 1 cup of warm water. Micro-cook, uncovered, on 100% power for 2.5-3 minutes or until noodles are softened, stirring twice; drain.
For sauce, in a small bowl combine seasoning packet, 2/3 cup cold water, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar, and red pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, or wok heat sesame and cooking oil over medium high heat. Add raw shrimp and stir fry until done. Take out and set aside. Add a bit more oil and broccoli; stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp tender. Stir sauce; add sauce, noodles, and shrimp to skillet or wok. Cook and stir until bubbly and heated through; cook and stir 1 minute more.
