BASIC CHINESE SAUCE FOR STIR FRY

Basic Chinese Sauce for Stir Fry image

After an emergency involving an out of date sauce & relatives coming round for dinner, I spent the next few minutes investigating the contents of my mum's cupboards & then every chinese cookbook we had to find a sauce that I could make in a couple of minutes. In the end, I found that the following ingredients were common to most recipes. If I hadn't been feeding my dad as well, I would have added something from the following - garlic, ginger, spring onion or chili pepper. As it was, I added the sugar instead to richen the sauce. I used the medium-dry sherry that my mum "cooks" with - although the recommended alternative for rice wine appears to be dry sherry.

Time 7m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornflour
2 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons stock or 4 teaspoons water (I used the meat juices that came out when I fried the meat before adding the sauce)

Steps:

Mix cornflour and water together to form a smooth paste.
Add everything else to the paste and mix well- it will take a little while for the sugar to dissolve.
Add to meat and/or veg after stir-frying& heat until the sauce has thickened.
Serve immediately with rice or noodles.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your stir-fry comes together quickly and easily.
Use a Wok: A wok is the ideal cookware for stir-frying. Its rounded shape and sloping sides allow for even heat distribution and easy tossing of the ingredients.
Heat Your Wok Properly: Preheat your wok over high heat until it is very hot. This will help to sear the ingredients and prevent them from sticking.
Use a Small Amount of Oil: Stir-fries are typically made with a small amount of oil. This helps to keep the dish light and healthy.
Cook in Batches: If you are cooking a large amount of food, cook it in batches. This will prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the wok and ensure that they cook evenly.
Toss the Ingredients Constantly: Stir-fries require constant tossing to ensure that the ingredients cook evenly and do not burn.
Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the stir-fry towards the end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the sauce from burning and will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that the dish is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to enjoy a delicious meal. With a little practice, you can easily master the art of stir-frying and create flavorful dishes that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give stir-fry a try!
