Here are some more information for Oriental Ginger:
Many varieties of frozen stir fry vegetables are available: Japanese, Teriyaki, Lo Mein (with noodles), Singapore, Oriental, and Szechuan. Last night I fixed chicken stir fry with broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, carrots, celery, water chestnuts, onions and red peppers. When you use frozen stir fry vegetables you have to be careful not to overcook them.
The pan should be heated until it is almost smoking and you cook the vegetables for five to seven minutes. No more, or you will have a gloppy mess. The vegetables will taste boiled, rather than stir fried.
Stir frying is a quick and healthy technique, detailed in the article, "What is Stir Fry?" Posted on the Wise Geek website, the article says you need to think smaller when you think stir fry. The ingredients should be cut into small, uniform pieces to ensure uniform cooking. "Thumb-size for the chunks is a good way to remember the ideal size," the article notes.
The Family Wok website has posted "Basic Stir-Fry Instruction" and photos on its website. The wok or frying pan (I use a cast iron skillet) needs to be heated until it is smoking hot. Ingredients that take the most time to cook are added first. If liquid forms on the bottom of the pan, it is not hot enough or you have too much in the pan. Vegetables should be cooked until they are "crisp tender."
As with all stir fry, you need to complete your prep work before you start cooking. Though I used Top Ramen noodles, I did not use the seasoning packet to cut down on salt. Thickening with corn starch can be a bit tricky, so watch the pan carefully. Your goal is a slightly thickened stir fry, not vegetable pudding. Short on time?

Ingredients
1 scallion, white and green parts, diced
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
2 tablespoons minced ginger (fresh or from a jar)
2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh or from a jar)
1 1/2 cups cubed chicken breast
1-pound bag frozen stir fry vegetables
2 cups lower salt chicken stock
2 tablespoons lower sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons sugar-free apricot jam
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3-ounce package Top Ramen noodles, chicken flavor
2-3 tablespoons corn starch
Method
Dice scallion and set aside. Cut chicken into 3/4" cubes. Rinse Ramen noodles under running water and set aside. Pour oil into wok or skillet and heat until almost smoking. Add ginger and garlic. Fry for a few seconds and add chicken. Cook chicken until it starts to brown, remove and set aside. Pour a little more oil into the pan. Add frozen vegetables and stir fry for about two minutes. Return chicken to pan and add chicken stock, soy sauce, jam, and red pepper flakes. Add Ramen noodles and break them up. Cover pan and cook for another minute. Thin corn starch with cold water, add to pan and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Plate stir fry, garnish with scallions, and serve with white or brown rice.

Herbal Tonic: Jiaogulan Tonic Jule of the Orient for Health and Longevity
The most protective and health-restoring herbals are the liquid preparations called tonics, a name derived from their ability to keep the body’s system and energies in tone. Tonics are a mainstay of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the world’s most comprehensive system of natural healing. In TCM, herbal tonic is said to have a protective, balancing, and energizing quality that benefits one’s entire well-being and creates “radiant health”. Many of the ancient tonic formulas in TCM still enjoy great popularity today, both at home and around the world. And yet, the tonic herb with perhaps the most profound benefits for human health is little known outside of China. Its name is jiaogulan (jee-ow-goo-lahn), and it is Nature’s Greatest Treasure for health and longevity. The research and tradition suggest 26 compelling reasons to drink the premier jiaogulan tonic, Jule of the Orient.
Jule of the Orient is an energizing patent pending blend of jiaogulan— known in China as the “Immortality Herb” — and 21 carefully selected, health-promoting supernutrients from around the world. Jule gives you the adaptogens, phytonutrients, and antioxidants that you need to live life to the fullest!
-Features a patent pending jiaogulan blend, providing a high level of bioactive gypenoside saponins along with the entire spectrum of health-promoting nutrients from the freeze-dried whole herb and juice pressed from the leaf, stem, and root.
-Phytonutrient-rich formula delivers the antioxidant capacity of 15 servings of fruits and vegetables in just 4 ounces.
-As a tonic with unsurpassed super-adaptogenic qualities, Jule brings balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances.
-Offers powerful anti-aging and immune system support.
-Delivers smooth, long-lasting energy that you can really feel!
-Formulated with 21 carefully selected synergistic supernutrients for optimal health and wellness.
Ingredients: Patent pending reconstituted blend of jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) from standardized high gypenoside saponin plant extract, freeze-dried whole herb and juice from leaf, stem and root; standardized extracts of whole Lycium barbarum fruit, açai fruit, Japanese sophora bud, amalaki fruit, aronia fruit, astragalus root, camu-camu fruit, codonopsis root, elderberry fruit, ginger root, jujube fruit, longan fruit, luo han guo fruit, pomegranate fruit, rhodiola root, schisandra fruit and bilberry fruit; blueberry juice, lychee fruit juice, cranberry juice and cherry juice concentrate, in a base of organic cane juice with natural flavors, malic acid (fruit acid to balance pH), and less than 1/10th of 1% sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate added to maintain freshness.
Recommendations: drink 1 to 2 ounces twice daily. If desired, Jule can be mixed with water or the beverage of your choice. Shake well before using and refrigerate after opening. Herbal tonic contains no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
I invite you to starting drinking herbal tonic Jule each day as an easy way to radically improve your health and well-being.

Can you make soup(oriental) with udon or soba noodles?
I've been getting into making noodle bowls(soup) with ramen, using my own ingredients(miso, scallions, ginger, etc...). Do you think that soba or udon noodles would work as a replacement for the ramen? My main concern is that the noodles would get too soggy or slippery. I've only ever used soba/udon in stir fries, so I'm really not sure how the soup would effect them.
thanks
Udon noodles are great in soup. most Japanese restaurants serve an udon noodle soup. Yum!
