Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, chicken or vegetable stock, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a smooth slurry. Ensure there are no lumps in the slurry, as this will help thicken the stir-fry sauce evenly.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the soy sauce mixture, stirring continuously to blend. If you prefer a bit of heat in your stir-fry, add the red pepper flakes at this stage.
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Continue to stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the saucepan.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly. This should only take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to boil the sauce, as you only want it to thicken.
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, and then it is ready to be used for your favorite stir-fry recipes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
