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.

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,

Vegan Stir-Fry Sauce Recipe

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pinch of ginger
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce
1 tablespoon sherry

Mix everything together, and after stir-frying veggies or tofu reduce heat
and add sauce. Stir for about 2 more minutes. Very easy, and delicious! A
great way to add flavor to the simplest stir fry.

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.
