How do I use Stir Fry Sauce?
Short answer, is that you’ll want a hot wok or pan, oil, stir fry vegetables, and a protein of your choice. For full instructions, make sure to check out our Pork and Veggie Stir Fry Recipe. And it sounds weird, but don’t skip velveting the meat!
Can Stir Fry Sauce go bad?
As with most homemade condiments, you’ll want to look at the expiration dates of the individual ingredients, and then use some common sense. We general just make enough for a single meal so we never worry about it going bad.
How do you thicken Stir Fry Sauce?
We don’t generally thicken ours, but if you felt it was necessary, you could add a slurry of cornstarch (or arrowroot flour).
Combine a teaspoon of starch with just enough cold water to dissolve into a slurry, then add it to the sauce. Repeat until desired consistency is reached.
