i kinda wonder if it'd work out if i just put the oil, beans, garlic and spices in the slow cooker on low and then mashed it all together at the end / over time, i do notice that in stirfries sometimes the beans become a sauce-like slurry that i really enjoy

They do that a lot with Asian cooking. I know Chinese restaurants use the same trick.
They do it with chicken for stirfries too!

Chicken is cooked when it's white and nicer when it's got some browning on it. Thin meat will cook basically instantly.
My method for stirfries: ripping hot wok or steel frying pan NOT NONSTICK. Prechop everything. Sort into types: aromatics, hard veg, soft veg. Chop all veg similar size.

Btw, I usually make stirfries with a homemade sauce, but recently I used a premixed store bought stirfry sauce, and it turned out way better. I'm still pissed about this.

fortunately ginger freezes pretty well, you could process it and have a bunch ready to toss in stirfries or whatever.

I keep a lot of Asian flavors in my pantry because stirfries are easy.

hack for the vegan-curious:
crumbled extra-firm tofu is a pretty decent sub for any ground meat sauce/braise. (think taco meat, chili sauce, saucy Asian stirfries).
if you're skeptical, try subbing half the meat for tofu at first. the texture is different, but flavorwise, you don't miss much.

I might just turn the rest into plain plum jam. It's quickly become one of my favorite condiments. Great with fried potatoes and pork as well as a base in veggie stirfries with tofu.

I mean why the hell are bags of spinach and beansprouts so big when they go bad the moment you look away? That bag of beansprouts is big enough for 4 or 5 stirfries. I'm not having 4 to 5 stir fries in one week.

Made some basic white sauce tonight and I’m looking forward to drizzling it over my stirfries for the next several days. It’s hard for me to eat sometimes, so it’s always exciting when I find things that get me motivated!

I'm so glad you asked. YES foods are the foods that fuel us, that stabilize us, that heal us.
How do we find our YES foods?
It's tricky. For me, personally, I always like to take things back to the Atkins Acceptable Foods for Induction list. When I eat from this list, although things feel limited

i want to do stirfries if i can find a nice sauce that i can tolerate. my mom used to do this ginger one with shrimp, but i always avoided shrimp nights because the smell made me feel sick, so I'm not sure exactly what it was.

I was eating a chocolate poptart the other day and realized it's one of my few persistent childhood memories! (I don't have a lot of them)
I remember Book It! pizza, and overdosing on collard greens, and dad's stirfries and hamburger helper, but the poptart when i was 5 is the earliest.

It’s a super versatile radish. You can eat it raw, best if cut thin. It’s good in stirfries, pickled, or to add texture to soups or ramen.

Last year I gave the beetroot tops to our house rabbits but I guess I should use them myself too! What do you use them for? Stirfries? Salads?

My airfryer love story continues. Perfectly crispy tofu in 8 minutes.. what more do you want? I adjust the seasoning based on the meal. Last night was garlic granules, salt, pepper & cumin. 8min on 180 degrees in the airfryer. Add to stirfries or curries for a tasty #plantbased protein #veganfood 🍜🍽️

Grew up in SEAsia, my cooking was mostly inst noods + add-ins (egg/tofu, tomato/leafy veg) until roommates in Alberta (pasta, stirfries, baking basics).
MSP opened my eyes to "good, cheap, fast" creative cooking, then a stint in northern Ontario meant weekend batch-cooking to eat well.

We have a Mac student staying with us until she gets her housing sorted out. She asked us tonight when and how we learned to cook, and I kinda don’t know? I lived off campus since spring of my freshman year and didn’t starve. I know there were a lot of frozen pizzas and Macs & Cheeses.

Mum and dad were both good cooks and made various different things. Dad mostly stirfries, fried rice, a great rendang. Mum different stirfries, rissoles, pasta bakes, crockpot stews, this potato thing in the microwave with tumeric, etc. Also classic roasts, and meat, spud and microwaved frozen veg.
