How to Make Stir Fry Sauce
With this stir fry sauce, you are just two steps away from a deliciously flavorful meal!
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar (how about a mason jar?) and shake to mix.
- Keep in the refrigerator and use within two weeks.
Always add stir fry sauce at the end of cooking veggies or meat, stir in enough to coat and continue to cook a few minutes before serving.
Tips for Success
- Use fresh ginger and garlic if possible, the flavor is so much better.
- Add sriracha or chili flakes for a little bit of heat.
- The cornstarch will settle to the bottom. Shake the jar vigorously to mix it back in before using.
- For a thicker sauce, create a slurry. Combine equal parts of cornstarch and water and slowly add a little bit at a time to simmering sauce while whisking.
