Ingredients
- ½ cup low sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Crushed red pepper flakes sriracha, or sweet chili sauce (optional, for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a jar or bowl. Whisk or shake vigorously (using a jar with a tight-fitting lid) until everything is fully combined.
- Use the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To work this magic into your stir fry creation:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a spacious skillet or wok.
- Add your choice of protein (chicken, beef, shrimp, tofu, chickpeas, etc.) and cook until it's browned and nearly cooked through. Move the protein to a clean plate.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan, and then introduce 6 cups of chopped vegetables (think broccoli, snow peas, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus - whatever tickles your taste buds). Stir fry until they're delightfully crisp-tender.
- Reunite the protein with the veggies in the pan, and pour in 1 cup of the stir fry sauce (using the full recipe). Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
- Finally, serve your creation over a bed of cooked rice, and get ready to savor the amazing flavors.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, simply opt for gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free tamari, or gluten-free coconut aminos.
If you're embracing a vegan lifestyle, swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and replace the honey with pure maple syrup.
