BASIC ASIAN STIR FRY OR DIPPING SAUCE



Basic Asian Stir Fry or Dipping Sauce image

Mother Kooka was served this as a dipping sauce with battered fish fillets at a restaurant in Hervey Bay. It would be good as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or rice paper rolls as well. The chef kindly shared the ingredients with me, but not the quantities. I think this is a good replica of the original. When I got home, I made it up and decided it would be great as a stir fry sauce for a beef, cabbage and vegetable stir fry. I was right! Just stir fry the finely sliced meat and vegetables (I added some fresh ginger and garlic as well) then stir in this sauce. You could add some chilli to it if you like, or, if using as a dipping sauce, float some toasted sesame seeds on top. It would also be a great sauce to serve with hokkein noodles. Enjoy!

This is one of my go-to sauces for just about anything Asian that needs a good sauce. It is sweet, tangy, and has a bit of kick.

Let's get into the kitchen.

Categories     Gravies

Number Of Ingredients 17

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE VEGGIES
1 tablespoon(s) grapeseed oil, or other non-flavored variety
3 clove(s) garlic, minced
3 teaspoon(s) fresh ginger, minced
THE SAUCE
1/2 cup(s) chicken stock, not broth
3 tablespoon(s) tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
2 tablespoon(s) fresh clover honey
2 tablespoon(s) fish sauce
1 tablespoon(s) cornstarch, or arrowroot powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) white pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon(s) smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon(s) red pepper flakes, or to taste
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1 tablespoon(s) sweet butter, unsalted

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • You will need a medium saucepan to make this recipe, and a non-reactive jar to store it in.
  • Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this sauce should last 2 - 3 weeks.
  • If you do not have any fish sauce, you can use an equal amount of rice wine vinegar. You can use regular soy sauce, in place of the tamari or liquid aminos; however, reduce the amount to two tablespoons. If you do not have any honey, you could always use maple syrup, or other sweetener; even, regular sugar.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat, and then add the garlic and ginger.
  • Stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 60 - 90 seconds.
  • Add the sauce ingredients.
  • The best way to do this is take all the sauce ingredients and whisk them together into a measuring cup or bowl, and then add to the saucepan. Remember that you want to have those ingredients ready before you add the garlic and ginger, so you can add them quickly. Otherwise, you might burn the garlic, and you will have to start all over.
  • Allow to lightly simmer for about 8 - 10 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until it thickens.
  • Remove from heat, add the butter, and stir until it is melted into the sauce.
  • Use now or allow it to cool and store according to the above recommendations.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Use anywhere you want a great Asian cooking sauce, or you can even drizzle it over sautéed veggies or meats and fish. I like using it as a dipping sauce for tempura and egg rolls. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: AWESOME DIPPING SAUCE



Asian Essentials: Awesome Dipping Sauce image

This really is an essential dipping sauce for things like pot stickers, eggrolls, and other Asian related items. I got it from a chef that worked at Chiam's in Chicago's Chinatown when I was just a kidding. That does not make it any type of state secret. It basically has the elements of a tangy sauce with just a hint of sweet that you will find in most similar sauces. Sadly, Chiam's no longer exists, it was torn down several years ago and replaced with a bank. Gone in reality; preserved in my memories. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 11

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE SAUCE BASE
1/4 cup(s) tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
1/4 cup(s) rice wine vinegar, unseasoned
2 teaspoon(s) coconut sugar
1 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1/2 teaspoon(s) sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
OPTIONAL ITEMS
1 tablespoon(s) sliced green onions, just the green parts, as a garnish

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • You will need a saucepan and a good non-reactive jar to store it in.
  • Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids.

Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If stored correctly (in the fridge), it should last 6 - 8 weeks.
  • The sugar in the recipe mitigates the tartness of the vinegar and tamari; however, sometimes I prefer it tart, so I leave the sugar out.
  • If you are looking for a good eggroll recipe, look no further: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-pork/chef-andy-s-cooking-class-the-perfect-eggroll.html?r=4
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).

  • When it comes up to a simmer, remove from the heat, and add the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Then allow to come to room temperature before storing.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Use as a dipping sauce for your favorite Asian foods. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
