Easy 3 Ingredient Stir Fry Sauce
My stir fry sauce makes homemade stir fries more flavorful and easy! I use pantry staple ingredients already in the house, so I can make it at any time!
Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Optional
- 2-3 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Add the water and cornstarch to a bowl or mason jar; whisk until smooth, then add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and any optional ingredients. Whisk well or seal the jar and shake until combined.
- Refrigerate in a sealed jar until ready to use. Shake the jar well to recombine the ingredients before using.
Notes
- To make the sauce even thicker, add any 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to a small bowl and mix into the sauce on medium-high heat until thickened.
- Use reduced sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness in the recipe.
- This recipe can be made with just the 3 ingredients listed, but I love adding the optional ingredients for some extra flavor when I have them on hand. It's delicious either way.
- Serve this stir fry sauce with chicken, steak, tofu, or any other protein along with rice or noodles, and veggies.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Shake or stir it up before using again. I love to store it in a mason jar so I can shake the jar up and it's ready to use.
