Stir Fry Sauce

Recipe #204223 | 12 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: megnbrycesmom

This recipe came from a Williams-Sonoma cookbook. It is a generic chinese type brown sauce great for making just about any type of stir fry. Simple and delicious. Our favorite way to use it is on a stir fry of beef, asparagus, and red pepper.

    Made this to use in Teriyaki Asparagus (for the teriyaki sauce) and have leftover will use later for stir fry. I used red chili paste for the oil and arrowroot for the conrstarch. Tasted spicy when I tried some straight, but it wasn't spicy on the asparagus. Thanks.

    This is a very nice stir fry sauce. I had it tonight with tofu and broccoli. I didn't have chili oil and substituted garlic chili sauce

    Great basic stir fry sauce, very adaptable, and better that the store bought chemical stuff!

    Exactly as billed, a great brown sauce for stir fries. The proportions are perfect although I misread the recipe and used a Tbsp of fresh ginger. I didn't find the ginger to be too much at all. I didn't have chili oil and substituted sesame oil and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I did add a pinch of sugar because I like a bit of sweetness. This was fabulous on a stir fry of chicken breast, onion, mushroom, red pepper, asparagus and radish. Thank you for a keeper!
