Thursday night stir fry

Last night we did a stir fry with carrots, broccolli, green pepper, onions, shitakes (dried), garlic, and a bit of beef. I wanted to do something different for a sauce, and we still have a bunch of miso in the fridge, so the sauce was:

1 inch ginger, minced
8 thai chilies, thinly sliced
2 star anise
1-2 Tbs white miso
juice of one lime
1-2 Tbs soy sauce

Fry the ginger and chilies briefly for 30 seconds, then add miso and enough water to make a thick sauce and stir well to integrate. Add the anise and simmer for a couple of minutes. Add the lime juice and soy sauce to taste. The sauce should be "overly" strong, because the liquid that's in with the other ingredients will dilute it some.
