REAL CHINESE ALL PURPOSE STIR FRY SAUCE

Real Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce image

My secret weapon for mid week meals - an All Purposes Chinese Stir Fry Sauce, a versatile base that makes a wonderfully glossy sauce for any stir fry, including stir fried noodles. Store it in the fridge in a jar for when you need it - just make sure to leave sufficient headroom in the jar so you can give it a good shake before using. This makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce which is enough for around 12 servings.

BASIC CHINESE SAUCE FOR STIR FRY

Basic Chinese Sauce for Stir Fry image

After an emergency involving an out of date sauce & relatives coming round for dinner, I spent the next few minutes investigating the contents of my mum's cupboards & then every chinese cookbook we had to find a sauce that I could make in a couple of minutes. In the end, I found that the following ingredients were common to most recipes. If I hadn't been feeding my dad as well, I would have added something from the following - garlic, ginger, spring onion or chili pepper. As it was, I added the sugar instead to richen the sauce. I used the medium-dry sherry that my mum "cooks" with - although the recommended alternative for rice wine appears to be dry sherry.

Time 7m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornflour
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons stock or 4 teaspoons water (I used the meat juices that came out when I fried the meat before adding the sauce)

Steps:

Mix cornflour and water together to form a smooth paste.
Add everything else to the paste and mix well- it will take a little while for the sugar to dissolve.
Add to meat and/or veg after stir-frying& heat until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Tips:

Use a large wok or skillet: This will help you avoid overcrowding the ingredients and ensure that they cook evenly.
Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to create a flavorful sear on the ingredients.
Use a small amount of oil: Just enough to coat the bottom of the wok or skillet.
Add the ingredients in stages: Start with the vegetables that take the longest to cook, such as carrots and broccoli. Then add the softer vegetables, such as bell peppers and snow peas.
Stir-fry the ingredients constantly: This will help to prevent them from sticking to the wok or skillet and will also help to ensure that they cook evenly.
Add the sauce at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning.
Serve immediately: Stir-fry is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This stir-fry sauce is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor to your favorite stir-fried dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can create delicious and healthy stir-fries that the whole family will enjoy.
