Stir Fry Sauce Recipe Easy and Flavorful Guide
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (for thickening)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, fresh orange juice, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to blend the flavors.
- Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the sauce. This will help thicken the sauce when heated.
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and pour in the stir fry sauce. Bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and if desired, stir in chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor.
- Allow the sauce to cool before using it in your favorite stir fry dish, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply reheat before using.
