HEATHER'S STIR-FRY SAUCE



Heather's Stir-Fry Sauce image

My SIL is a newlywed, and she's turning into quite a good cook -- we have even started sharing recipes. This is HER stir fry sauce, and I love its basic goodness. You can add ingredients (I'll add a few spoonfuls of black bean sauce sometimes, for example) or change them around (I often use brown sugar instead of white, and sometimes I use rice wine vinegar instead of the white). I keep losing the piece of paper I have this scribbled on, so it's time to bring it to Zaar!

Provided by Evamyth

Categories     Low Protein

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard powder
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add color, texture, and flavor to your stir-fry. Some good options include broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Marinate your protein (chicken, beef, tofu, etc.) in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the protein and add flavor.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the protein and vegetables.
  • Stir-fry your ingredients in batches to prevent them from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of frying.
  • Add a thickener, such as cornstarch or arrowroot powder, to your sauce at the end of cooking to help it thicken and coat the ingredients.
  • Serve your stir-fry immediately with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Using the tips above, you can easily create a delicious and healthy South Beach Diet-friendly stir-fry at home. With a variety of vegetables, lean protein, and a flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
