You Will Need (7 things)

  • ½ cup low sodium Soy Sauce
  • ¼ cup Vegetable Oil or peanut oil
  • ½ cup dry white Wine or dry sherry
  • 2 tsp fresh Garlic
  • 2 tsp fresh Ginger
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch / Corn Starch mixed with 2 Tbsp warm H2O

Steps (5 steps, 2 minutes)

  1. 1

    Warm a small saucepan with oil*** and add garlic & ginger until aromatic (about 10 seconds)

    ***oil can be reduced ti 1/8 cup if desired.

  2. 2

    Pour in wine and soy sauce, add sesame oil and cook for about a minute

  3. 3

    Mix cornstarch and water with a small whisk or fork until totally smooth & stir into sauce.

    You can also forgo the cornstarch and use it to marinate chicken or tofu!

  4. 4

    Stir (I like to use a whisk) sauce over low heat until thickened.

    Remove from heat & YUM!

  5. 5

    For use as a stir-fry sauce, add to stir fry just before it's done.

    As a marinade, pour over meat or tofu for at least 30 minutes.

    I love this over udon noodles with stir-fried baby bok choy and sugar peas!
