All-purpose Stir-fry Sauce (Brown Garlic Sauce)

Recipe #87748 | 20 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: Connie K
Mar 29, 2004

Adapted from Martin Yan's Chinese Cooking for Dummies. This is my favorite stir-fry sauce. It makes enough for two meals. Having extra on hand makes for a quick meal. My son will actually eat vegetables he can dip in the sauce! WARNING about the amount of soy sauce. When I used Kikkoman soy sauce, I found this sauce far too salty. I now use Angostura, which is much lower in salt. When adding soy sauce, start with less than half the amount and slowly add more to taste. Using vegetable broth makes this vegetarian. Yield: 1 3/4 cups (couldn't get that amount entered)

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, broth, rice wine, sugar, sesame oil and white pepper.
  2. 2
    Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup water.
  3. 3
    Heat a pan over high heat; add the cooking oil, swirling to coat; add the garlic and ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
  4. 4
    Add the soy sauce mixture; bring to a boil.
  5. 5
    Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute.
  6. 6
    Add the cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens.

    great recipe! i did find it too salty but am still giving it 5 stars as there was enough info about the soy sauce to know it was going to be. will definetley make this again and again, just with low sodium soy. it looks fantastic aswell.

    Very easy and tasty sauce to make! I used the full amount of soy, but did it with the low sodium Kikkomen, worked fine. I made a huge veggie stir fry with all the things from my garden. Wonderful!!

    A delicious, quick & easy sauce! Using the full quantity of V-H Soya sauce, it wasn't overly salty. Since my husband loves stir-fry & I rarely use a recipe, it will be convenient having this on hand. Thanx Connie!
