Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tsp brown sugar or honey (optional, or to taste)
  • 2 tsp chili paste (such as sambal oelek; optional, or to taste)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ tsp cornstarch
Instructions
Method 1: Stir Fry Method
  1. Whisk together all sauce ingredients. To make a stir fry, cook any proteins in a hot skillet or wok (use enough for 4 servings). Remove and add vegetables to the skillet and cook until tender crisp. Add all proteins and vegetables back to the skillet. Whisk the sauce one more time to incorporate any fallen cornstarch. Pour the sauce into the hot skillet over the stir fry, stirring to coat. Let simmer for 1 minute, or until thick.
  2. Serve the stir fry over rice.
Method 2: Sauce Alone
  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, brown sugar, and chili paste in a small sauce skillet.
  2. In a small bowl make a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the water and cornstarch.
  3. Heat the soy sauce mixture over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Whisk the cornstarch slurry one more time to incorporate any fallen cornstarch and pour the slurry into the soy sauce mixture, whisking to combine. Bring back to a boil whisking frequently and let simmer for 1 minute.
  4. Serve the sauce drizzled over a stir fry, sheet pan vegetables, rice bowls, noodle bowls etc.
