I'm pretty lost with any style of Asian cooking. What are your favorite sauces/dishes that I should try?
Stir Fried Noodles and Veggies
2 tblsp peanut oil
1 small head broccoli, cut into bite size chunks
1 bunch thin asparagus, cut into bite size chunks1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tblsp fish sauce
1 tblsp sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
pinch crushed red pepper
2 tblsp rice wine vinegar1/3 package thick rice noodles, soaked
1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped
Heat peanut oil in wok over high heat. Add veggies and cook for about 2 minutes. Mix all ingredients except noodles and cilantro in a small bowl. Add sauce to veggies and stir to coat. Add noodles and toss again to coat. Add cilantro and serve.

I like to experiment a lot with Asian stuff, but it's very trial and error.
I like simple Vietnamese meat marinades like sugar, fish sauce, sesame oil. I often do stir fry sauces that are pretty basic (chicken broth, ginger, a little soy and chile). I prefer oyster sauce to hoisin, which I find cloyingly sweet. Black bean sauce is nice in very small quantities, very umami.
Do you guys have an Asian grocery nearby? I get a lot of my supplies from there.
Thanks! I get nervous striking out with Asian foods since there are so many flavors that I'm not comfortable with. I know I don't like hoisin. I have a thing of it in the fridge that I used once and decided it was gross.
We do have an Asian grocery right next door. I went in for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I think I need a tour though - so many things I've never tried!
