Easy and Delicious Stir Fry Sauce image

This is so easy to make and tastes amazing on any stir fry. I usually use Chicken and loads of veggies, but pork or beef or even seafood would be great as well. The measurement are very approximate, as I NEVER measure when I make this. Just taste it as you go and adjust as you wish! You may need to make more or less of the sauce depending on the size of your stir fry. The servings are approximate based on my family.

  • Stir-fry your ingredients in batches. This will help to prevent overcrowding and ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Add your sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve your stir-fry immediately over rice or noodles.
