I'm Asian so I love Asian food! Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian, Filipino, Indian, you name it, we love it! I like cooking them at home too and I think I do a pretty good job if I do say so myself; but there are elements in Asian cooking that are just hard to duplicate at home.
While I do love to stirfry because you can put them together so quickly, I also have had the biggest problem with getting my wok to heat right. If your wok isn't hot enough, you sometimes end up with something soggy and soupy, very unlike the dishes you'd get at your favorite restaurant. Then there's the prep time. I have to plan ahead for my quick stir fries because most of the prep time is in the chopping and getting all your ingredients ready.
As I've said before, I'm not averse to using mixes or packaged foods so long as they are good. One of the brands I have used before is Sun-Bird. I am sure you've seen their seasoning packs on the grocery aisles before. These are time savers that provide you with a pack full of flavor. My favorite one to get is the sweet and sour pack because I never could get the balance between sweet and sour just right. When you use their seasoning pack, it's just right.
Next time you're at the store, look in the seasonings aisle and get a pack to try out. While you're there, also check out their Blu-RayTM Disc Players giveaway. Entry forms can be found at the grocery stores with the Sun-Bird seasoning packs. The contest runs through October 31, 2009 so make sure to get your entry in!
