Stir Fry Sauce

5 min
5 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing cooking wine ((or dry sherry))
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine cornstarch and water in a mason jar until smooth. Then add in all the remaining ingredients. Fasten the lid, and shake until fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    (Alternatively, you can mix everything in a bowl with a whisk.)

  3. 3

    Use as desired. Instructions for a basic stir fry are in the full article.

  4. 4

    If not using right away, store in a sealed jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. Note: after it's been sitting and untouched for a while, the ingredients will separate and the cornstarch has a tendency to settle and harden at the bottom of the jar. Take a dull knife to loosen it up, then fasten the lid and give it a good shake to reincorporate everything before using.
