Best Tasting and Easy Stir Fry Sauce

Submitted by Rev.CCJ

"Very good sauce for your stir fry. What more can I say!!!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup chicken stock (or low-sodium broth)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sherry wine (or Chinese cooking wine)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (dissolved in 1 tablespoon water)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 3 tablespoons fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the stock with the soy sauce, sherry, sugar, cornstarch slurry, vinegar and sesame oil. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut oil until shimmering. Add the ginger and crushed red pepper and cook over high heat, stirring, until fragrant and golden.
3. Add the stock mixture and boil over high heat until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute.
4. Note/Ideas: I usually add some garlic and some fresh orange juice instead of all that stock and 1/4 teaspoon of salt - I think this is really nice because it gives you a lot of sauce - I don't like a dry stir fry, especially over rice.

The flavor was pretty good, but the sauce did not thicken as much as I would have liked. I did a chicken and broccoli stir fry with 1.5 lbs of chicken and 6 cups of broccoli and there was not enough sauce.
