When it says something like onions (until soft), that means cook the onions to that point before adding the next ingredient—that way you don’t end up with half-raw onions and blackened carrots.
Ginger-sesame salad dressing makes for pretty good sauce on a lot of these, or
purchased teriyaki or hoisin or whatever.
Anything you’re not using a premade sauce on, add a little cornstarch dissolved in some water—like, maybe a half teaspoon of cornstarch per serve, plus a couple tablespoons of water.
