¼ cup ketchup (make sure it's gluten free)

EASY SWEET AND SPICY STIR-FRY SAUCE



Easy Sweet and Spicy Stir-Fry Sauce image

While making a sauce for pork chops one night, I thought this would be a good base for a sweet and spicy stir-fry sauce. Not only was it tasty, but it was simple. Who would've thought :) Add whatever type of meat and/or vegetables you want. DH and I like ours over steamed rice. Makes enough sauce for one large pan/wok of stir-fry.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your stir-fry will taste. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables and tender meat or tofu.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of stir-frying. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Use a high heat: Stir-fries are cooked over high heat to quickly sear the vegetables and meat. This helps to preserve the vegetables' bright colors and crisp texture.
  • Stir constantly: This will help to prevent the vegetables and meat from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce too early will make the vegetables soggy. Stir in the sauce just before serving.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sassy stir-fry is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish. With a few simple tips, you can make a stir-fry that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give sweet and sassy stir-fry a try.
