LEMON STIR-FRY SAUCE



Lemon Stir-fry Sauce image

This came from the back of a bag of "Bird's Eye Farm Fresh Mixtures, Asparagus Stir-Fry With Pasta" to which I added boneless chicken breasts. Nevertheless, when I looked on their site, and searched and searched, I could not find the recipe. I decided to post it as much for my future reference as well as your enjoyment. This was nice and light and a great change from the traditional teriyaki taste we have become accustomed to.

Provided by Mudflower

Categories     Sauces

Time 5m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Stir all ingredients together in a measuring cup (preferably with a pour spout).
  • Once you have cooked your veggies and/or chicken in a wok/skillet, add the sauce and cook on medium-high heat until thickened to your liking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this sauce. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Choose the right soy sauce. Use a light or regular soy sauce for this sauce. Dark soy sauce is too strong and will overpower the other flavors.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked until it is just thickened and bubbly. Overcooking will make the sauce too thick and syrupy.
  • Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the end. This will prevent the sauce from overcooking and becoming too thick.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

This lemon stir-fry sauce is a quick and easy way to add flavor to your favorite stir-fries. The sauce is made with fresh lemon juice and zest, soy sauce, honey, and garlic. It is tangy, sweet, and savory, and it pairs well with a variety of vegetables and proteins. You can use this sauce to make a variety of stir-fries, such as chicken stir-fry, shrimp stir-fry, or vegetable stir-fry.
