The simplest I've found is to stir fry the veggies (and/or meat) in
sesame oil mixed with chili.  Use moderation -- unless you *like*
*spicy*.

I got the chilied oil at our local Safeway (Half Moon Bay, CA), in the oriental
foods section.  I'm sure you could find it more cheaply at an Oriental
Foods Store.

In general, I've discovered sesame oil preferable for oriental stir fry.
