Chinese Marinade for Stir-fry

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch ginger root, thinly sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar
1/2 lb beef tenderloin or sirloin, pork or chicken, cut into thin strips
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp oil

Mix garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add meat and marinate at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. After marinating, add cornstarch, oil and a dash of water if the mixture is too dry. Stir fry with a little oil until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir fry 5-6 cups of vegetables and serve over rice or noodles.

Serves 4.
