Here's a way to elevate any stir-fry, especially when you are making it from veggie and meat scraps that are lingering in your refrigerator. Pro tip: You can use half of it as a marinade for your proteins before you add them to the skillet. It also makes a tasty dipping sauce for steamed dumplings or pot-stickers.

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After an emergency involving an out of date sauce & relatives coming round for dinner, I spent the next few minutes investigating the contents of my mum's cupboards & then every chinese cookbook we had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