Easy Three Ingredient Stir Fry Sauce
From SoYummySoEasy.com
About This Recipe
This is about as simple as a sauce recipe gets — just three pantry staple ingredients whisked together in minutes, with no cooking required. It delivers a well-balanced sweet-salty-savory flavor that works on virtually any stir fry: chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or vegetables. The idea is that there's no need to buy bottled stir fry sauce from the grocery store when this homemade version is this quick and easy to pull together. Stir frying itself is a Chinese cooking technique where ingredients are cooked in a small amount of very hot oil in a wok while being stirred continuously — this sauce is the perfect companion for that method.
Tips:
- Make just enough for a single meal if you prefer, or make it in batches and freeze for later.
- To thicken the sauce, mix one teaspoon of cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and stir it into the sauce before using.
- Use a blender instead of a whisk for an even smoother result.
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
