Ingredients

  • ½ cup regular soy sauce
  • ½ cup oyster sauce, or hoisin
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • ¼ cup GMO-free cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon evaporated cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, grated (optional), or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1- inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated (optional), or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  • Combine ingredients. Place all ingredients in a pint-sized jar with a tight lid and either whisk or shake until smooth.
  • Store the stir fry sauce. Store in the refrigerator for several months.

To Use the Stir Fry Sauce

  • Stir fry vegetables, proteins, noodles, or rice. Prepare your favorite vegetables and proteins by stir-frying them over medium-high heat. Cook noodles in boiling water just until al dente and drain well. Cook rice according to your usual method.
  • Drizzle the stir fry sauce over. When all stir-fried ingredients are ready, shake the stir fry sauce and drizzle over the stir-fried foods. Toss to coat, adding more to taste. Shake well before each use.

Notes

This amount of sauce is typically enough to lightly coat 3-4 stir fries.
