My husband begged for stir-fry, so I had to search for a good stir-fry sauce. I found a couple I liked, but I made my own and threw stuff together. This is what I came up with. He drooled and ate so much I thought he'd burst! :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Michaela's blending of stir-fry sauce recipes is a real winner! The sauce is sweet, with a hint of spice. You can use any type of protein - chicken, steak, tofu, etc. We opted for chicken, paired it with Asian vegetables, and served everything over a fluffy bed of rice. Noodles would work too. It was delish!

Ingredients

2/3 cup soy sauce, low sodium
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup rice wine
3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons garlic chili sauce
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 cup water

How To Make spicy stir-fry sauce

Step 1

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, broth, rice wine, sugar, sesame oil, white pepper, hoisin sauce, and garlic chili sauce.

Step 2

Dissolve the corn starch in 1/4 cup water.
Step 3

Heat a pan over high heat; add the cooking oil, swirling to coat. Add the garlic and ginger (I like to use ginger paste found in the produce refrigerator section, it lasts a long time and tastes great). Cook, stirring until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
Step 4

Add the soy sauce mixture; bring to a boil.
Step 5

Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute.
Step 6

Add the corn starch solution and cook, stirring until the sauce boils and thickens.
Step 7

Add sauce to stir-fry vegetables and chicken, steak, or seafood. Freezes well in small Ziploc bags. Next time you make stir fry, pull out a small frozen bag and add to stir-fry.
