What sauces (condiments) are needed when stir frying veggies?
I heard people use clam sauce to do stir fries, but that’s all?
Soy Sauce
There are several different versions of Chinese soy sauce as well as many different brands and versions made by other countries. The basic soy sauce found in your local grocery store is known as light soy (not to be confused with lite salt soy.) This is a light brown, thin, salty sauce made from fermented soy beans. There is also Chinese dark soy, which is a darker, sweeter soy sauce that contains molasses; and thick soy which is just the dark soy, thickened. Finally there is the mushroom soy which has mushrooms added for flavor.
Hosin Sauce
A sweet and spicy thick sauce made from fermented beans, garlic and vinegar, Hoisin is used both as a condiment and to add flavor to stir fries and other dishes. This can usually be found in the ethnic section of your local grocery store.
Oyster Sauce
This is a thick brown sauce made from oysters, which may have to be sought after at an oriental grocery store.
Fish Sauce

French Fries $78.07 French fries (North American English, sometimes capitalized), fries, or frenchfried potatoes are thin strips of deepfried potato. North Americans often refer to any elongated pieces of fried potatoes as fries, while in other parts of the world, long slices of potatoes are sometimes called fries to contrast them with the thickly cut strips, which are often referred to as chips.

Rally Fries $86.03 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rally fries are a tradition at Seattle Mariners games, home and away, wherein television commentators Dave Sims and Mike Blowers select one fan or group of fans per game to receive free Ivars French fries. The tradition started on June 24, 2007 when a fan (John Sarkie) sitting on the first base line spilled his Ivars fries on the warning track while trying to pick up a foul ball. Sims and Blowers considered sending him some new fries if he picked up his tartar sauce from the track, which he did. During the next commercial break, producer Curtis Wilson talked with Blowers, then had a FSN Northwest intern deliver the fan some new fries. The very next night, a different fan brought a sign to the game asking Blowers for fries, and he obliged. The Mariners went on to win the rest of the games on that home stand.
