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

1. 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.
2. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and if desired, stir in chopped green onions for added freshness and flavor.
6. 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.
