Simple Stir-Fry Sauce
Add this simple sauce in the final stages of stir-frying. If you like, thicken the sauce by adding 1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 4 teaspoons water. Add the cornstarch and water mixture directly into the sauce in the wok or skillet, stirring quickly to thicken.
INGREDIENTS | YIELDS ½ cup
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl. Use as called for in a recipe, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to use. (Use the sauce within 3 to 4 days.)
What's in a Bowl?
When marinating food, the last thing you want is a chemical reaction between the material of the bowl and the acid in the marinade. Not only will the reaction wreak havoc with the marinade, but it can damage the bowl. For best results, use a container made of glass, ceramic, stainless steel, or plastic when marinating food. Never use an aluminum bowl.
