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After an emergency involving an out of date sauce & relatives coming round for dinner, I spent the next few minutes investigating the contents of my mum's cupboards & then every chinese cookbook we had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

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.

BASIC ASIAN STIR FRY OR DIPPING SAUCE



Basic Asian Stir Fry or Dipping Sauce image

Mother Kooka was served this as a dipping sauce with battered fish fillets at a restaurant in Hervey Bay. It would be good as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or rice paper rolls as well. The chef kindly shared the ingredients with me, but not the quantities. I think this is a good replica of the original. When I got home, I made it up and decided it would be great as a stir fry sauce for a beef, cabbage and vegetable stir fry. I was right! Just stir fry the finely sliced meat and vegetables (I added some fresh ginger and garlic as well) then stir in this sauce. You could add some chilli to it if you like, or, if using as a dipping sauce, float some toasted sesame seeds on top. It would also be a great sauce to serve with hokkein noodles. Enjoy!
