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.

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 scallion, white and green parts, finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons water

Directions

  1. 1
    Dissolve cornstarch in water.
  2. 2
    Combine all ingredients.

This is a very good stir fry sauce. Very nice blend of flavors. It was easy to make. I made this for ZWT 4 Asia, Add More Veggies Challenge. I made a stir fry of cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms and onions. This sauce was really good on it. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

    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

    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!
