Stir Fry Sauce Question
New guy here!
Happy New Year to all! I'm looking for a recipe for a stir fry sauce. I like to stir fry whatever veggies I have around but the store bought sauces are way too salty. Any suggestions for a "universal stir fry sauce" will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Greg |

Here's a *very* basic stir fry sauce. Put some oil in the pan, either flavoured like olive oil or subtly flavoured like sunflower oil. Add some crushed garlic to the oil, and cook for a bit. Add the vegetables and stir fry for a bit. Add a few dashes of soy sauce. When the vegetables are mostly cooked, add some vegetable stock mixed with cornflour. I usually use 1-2 tsp of cornflour to about 200 ml of water, with some powdered stock, and mix well. You may need to adjust the amounts. The stock/cornflour mix should turn into sauce as you continue to cook the vegetables. Add some pepper if you wish. Then serve. Cheers, Ross-c |

You do not necessarily need a sauce at all, just add herbs and spices. Many vegetables and mushrooms will produce a sauce as they are fried. If you want the mixture juicier, add a tomato or two. For asian recipes a shot of soy sauce is nice. |

Try some low-sodium soy sauce, or soy sauce diluted in water, fresh ginger
chopped (or ginger juice), and some cornstarch or arrowroot mixed in to thicken it up a bit when you add it to the stirfry & cook it a bit. -- Megan Milligan Desert Rose Musings (www.desertrosemusings.com) (parts still under construction) Cal-Neva Animal Rescue (http://www.desertrosemusings.com/cal...scue/index.htm) "None of us are strangers -- we're all just friends who haven't met yet." -- Christopher Reeve @ at engagement @ Penn State "gregory.bohn" > wrote in message news:RaDBd.6050$3m6.419@attbi_s51... > New guy here! > Happy New Year to all! > I'm looking for a recipe for a stir fry sauce.
