QUICK & TASTY VEGGIE STIR FRY SAUCE (USES BRAGGS)



Quick & Tasty Veggie Stir Fry Sauce (Uses Braggs) image

This is just a little recipe off the side of a box of silken tofu (Mori-Nu). I didn't care for the entire recipe, which involved broiling the tofu...far too much effort to put the oven on when you're planning to stir fry. What I did like about the recipe was the sauce - quick and simple for those days when you don't have time to mess around with too many ingredients, but still don't want to open up a packaged sauce. You can thicken up the sauce if you choose, or add some heat if that's what you're going for. As this has honey I can't say it's vegan, however I think you could sub agave or some other sweetener quite nicely (brown rice syrup??). Let me know if you try that. The original recipe said it was enough for 4, but if I was making it for 4 adults I would probably double it which is why I said it serves 3. Enjoy!

Time 5m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos (or sub your favourite light soy sauce)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 -2 minced fresh garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Blend the ingredients together, and presto, you have sauce!
  • Stir fry as you normally would -- if the sauce is too runny for you, likely depending on the veg you put in or if you used some frozen veg -- stir together about 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder (or cornstarch etc) with a few tbsp of water in a little dish, then mix that into the pan. Sort of push your veg/tofu to one side of the pan and try to mix it in well with just the sauce so you don't disturb your veg too much. Once it has thickened a bit then coat all the veggies in it.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Chop and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient stir-frying process.
  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to achieve the characteristic sear and smoky flavor. Make sure your pan or wok is well-heated before adding your ingredients.
  • Stir Constantly: The key to successful stir-frying is to keep your ingredients moving constantly. This prevents them from sticking to the pan and ensures even cooking.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with too many ingredients. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steamed vegetables rather than stir-fried ones.
  • Add Sauces Gradually: When adding sauces or liquids, do so gradually and in small increments. This allows the sauce to thicken and coat the ingredients evenly without making the dish too soupy.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs provide the best flavor and texture to your stir-fry. Choose vibrant and crisp vegetables for optimal results.
  • Experiment with Different Sauces: The beauty of stir-fries lies in their versatility. Feel free to experiment with different sauces, from classic soy sauce to flavorful oyster sauce or spicy Szechuan sauce.

Conclusion:

Mastering the art of stir-frying opens up a world of culinary possibilities. With a well-stocked pantry of essential ingredients and a few basic techniques, you can create an endless variety of delicious and nutritious stir-fries that are perfect for weeknight dinners, lunch boxes, or entertaining guests.
