QUICK & TASTY VEGGIE STIR FRY SAUCE (USES BRAGGS)
This is just a little recipe off the side of a box of silken tofu (Mori-Nu). I didn't care for the entire recipe, which involved broiling the tofu...far too much effort to put the oven on when you're planning to stir fry. What I did like about the recipe was the sauce - quick and simple for those days when you don't have time to mess around with too many ingredients, but still don't want to open up a packaged sauce. You can thicken up the sauce if you choose, or add some heat if that's what you're going for. As this has honey I can't say it's vegan, however I think you could sub agave or some other sweetener quite nicely (brown rice syrup??). Let me know if you try that. The original recipe said it was enough for 4, but if I was making it for 4 adults I would probably double it which is why I said it serves 3. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Blend the ingredients together, and presto, you have sauce!
- Stir fry as you normally would -- if the sauce is too runny for you, likely depending on the veg you put in or if you used some frozen veg -- stir together about 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder (or cornstarch etc) with a few tbsp of water in a little dish, then mix that into the pan. Sort of push your veg/tofu to one side of the pan and try to mix it in well with just the sauce so you don't disturb your veg too much. Once it has thickened a bit then coat all the veggies in it.

Tips for Making the Best Veggie Stir-Fry Sauce:
- Use fresh, high-quality vegetables. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your stir-fry.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will steam instead of stir-frying.
- Use a high-heat cooking oil. This will help the vegetables brown and caramelize.
- Stir-fry the vegetables in batches if necessary. If you have a lot of vegetables, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- Add the sauce to the vegetables at the end of cooking. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
