The BEST Stir Fry Sauce
The BEST stir fry sauce recipe you’ve ever had! Delicious on vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, or shrimp. Can be made gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan.
Allow me to introduce you to the BEST stir fry sauce in the world. Yes, it is very necessary that BEST is in all caps.
I love a great Asian stir fry packed with veggies and meat. But let’s be honest, the best part is always the stir fry sauce soaked into the rice.
Now, this may not look like much, but it’s lack of beauty is more than made up in flavor. Delicious Asian flavors like soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame seed oil and rice vinegar. It can easily be adjusted to be vegan or gluten-free without losing any flavor. Just add all the ingredients to a pint sized mason jar, shake it up, and your sauce is ready in minutes.
It’s the only stir fry sauce you’ll ever need. I’ve used it with just about every combination of vegetable, and with every type of meat. It’s great with chicken, beef, pork, even shrimp.
Have I convinced you yet? If not, you must try this stir fry sauce in my very favorite Green Bean Stir Fry with Chicken and Sesame Seeds. One of our favorite dinners I cook at least twice a week!

Pin RecipeIngredients
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce (or Tamari if gluten free)
1/2 cup chicken stock (or vegetable broth if vegan)
1 tablespoon corn starch (or arrow root)
1 tablespoon honey (or agave nectar if vegan)
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and grated or finely minced (or 1 tablespoon ginger paste in a squeeze tube, and other readers have had success with 1 tablespoon ground powdered ginger)
2 garlic cloves, grated or finely minced
Vegetables and meat of your choosing for the stir fry (I get my meat from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together. Adjust the amount of sauce you add according to how much stir fry you’re making. When adding to your stir fry, allow to cook for 3 full minutes to allow the corn starch to thicken the sauce.

Hi Natalie, love stir frys, they are my favorite kinds of foods for dinner, great looking sauce.
Ooh how I love a good stir-fry! Can’t wait til Thursday when you share your fav recipe with us! Until then, I’ll just obsess over how amazing this sauce looks. So trying this sauce the next time I make stir-fry! pinned. :)
It’s so funny. On my drive in to work today I was thinking about making a stir fry for dinner tonight. Perfect, because I’ll be trying out your delicious stir fry sauce. :)
★★★★★
I love having recipes like this on hand! I always have all of the ingredients for this sauce too. I can’t wait to try it!
Oooh this does look fantastic so I have no doubts that the caps in “BEST” were completely necessary. Now I could really go for some stir fry!!!
★★★★★
I’m convinced! Sometimes I’m kinda lazy and just buy a bottle of stir fry sauce instead of making my own. I’m always a little intimidated by Asian food, but this looks really easy and sounds delicious! And, I think I just might have all of these ingredients at home right now :)
This is PERFECT. Last week we were at the farmer’s market admiring all the “weird” Asian veggies and decided that this week we would go back, be adventurous and buy them, and make a big stir fry…. ta da! This is way better than bottled teriyaki sauce (what I was going to use) and practically just as easy!
umm I LOVE THIS. pre-planned a stir-fry for me and Dave on Weds and I think this sauce is going to make its debut! pinned :)
Stir-fry is my go-to weeknight meal, but I usually go for a curry stir-fry since that’s what I know. But, it’s probably time to venture out! Can’t wait to try it!
Stir fry sauce soaked into the rice = THE BEST. This looks like such a delicious staple. I think we’ll be eating quiiite a few more stir frys around here!
Love this recipe! I’ve never made my own stir fry sauce, so I can’t wait to try this!
Want to make this tonight but out of honey. Suggestions?
Yes! You can use the same amount of maple syrup, white sugar, brown sugar, coconut sugar, etc. Whatever sweetener you have on hand!
I’m sold Natalie. I would use this in my stir fry anytime.
This sauce sounds delish! Love a great stir fry!
Ha! Now you have me on pins and needles waiting for Thursday. I am a Stir Fry freak and can’t wait to give this a try! So glad to see you are using sesame oil – it’s a stir fry must if you ask me. I just love it soo much :)
Nathalie, I don’t need any more convincing at all! Pinning this for next time I make a stir-fry! :-)
I don’t make stir fry very much and I’ve definitely never made my own sauce. Can’t wait to see how you use this!
Yes! This would be so great to keep on hand for those busy night. I love this! Pinning.
Have a wonderful Wednesday Natalie!
It does sound mighty tasty – I love that it’s not packed with sugar!
I love making stir-fry at home and a great stir-fry sauce makes a huge difference. This recipe sounds delicious! I can’t wait to give it a try.
Yum, I love stir-fry and my favorite part is the sauce too:) This one looks awesome and I can’t wait to see your favorite stir-fry dish on Thursday!
I’m stir fry whore, so this is perfect for me ;) Always prefer making my own sauce! Ginger is my favorite ingredient in stir fry too, so happy to see you used it!!
This stir-fry sauce looks fantastic! And I like the idea of making it up separately and using throughout the week- great time-saver. Thanks for sharing!
This was perfect. My only regret was not doubling the recipe.
★★★★★
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so so so much! You’ll have to double it next time, haha!
I totally agree that the sauce makes a dish! I love how simple, easy and versatile this is! Yum. :)
This looks so delicious! I’m going to pin this and try it soon!
Thanks so much Polly! Hope you like it if you try it!
I’m always down for a good stir fry sauce!! Totally going to give this recipe a whirl! Pinning so I remember to make it next stir fry night!
Typing in all caps is just totally necessary sometimes. I understand! :) This sauce looks so good. I love that it’s a simple recipe with simple ingredients. Those recipes are the keepers.
Made this sauce tonight for a turkey stir fry. It was awesome! Personally I will add more garlic and ginger, but everyone loved it, even the kids. Great combination of flavors and super easy to put together.
★★★★★
Hi Deb! Sorry for the late response. Crazy week back at work after 2 weeks off. I’m so glad you liked the stir fry sauce! And I’m like you, I like lots of garlic and ginger too. The more the better. Thanks for letting me know, you made my day. Hope you have a great rest of your week!
delicious! didn’t have the rice vinegar..used rice wine instead..very tasty..
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Mary! Rice wine is a great substitute for rice wine vinegar. I’ve even used plain old white vinegar if I’m out. Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe, you just made my day!

This sauce is absolutely amazing!! I will continue to use this, as my whole family loves it!! I used it to make a cabbage chicken stir fry and couldn’t believe the amazing flavors!! Thank you!!
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Kim! It really is the best. Since finally perfecting it, I am seriously making a vegetable stir fry for dinner about once a week. So fast and delicious. Now I want to try you cabbage chicken version. Mmm! Thank you for letting me know you liked my recipe Kim, you just made my day! Hugs!

What if you don’t have minced ginger? Can you substitute a small amount of the powdered, ground ginger?
My cousin substituted ground ginger and she said it still tasted great! So if that’s what you have, should work great as a substitute. Lately I’ve been really in to that ground ginger paste that comes in a squeeze tube. It’s in the refrigerated section of the grocery store, usually near the herbs. So easy! No need to peel or mince, you just squeeze it in.
Hope you like it if you try it Bethany!
This was lovely – I added a small amount of finely chopped chilli just for a little kick. Thank you for the recipe. This is the 1st time I have come across this site so will def try other recipes.
Regarding ginger, I finely grate my ginger (using a zester) and pop it in the freezer taking it out as I need it – saves time.
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Lisa! I’m going to be making a stir fry again for dinner this week, can’t wait to make this stir fry sauce again. Good idea adding the chili! I’ll have to give that a try. My husband loves spicy. He usually tops the stir fry’s with red pepper flakes anyway. And so smart about grating your ginger and freezing it! Do you do it in little cubes in an ice tray? I’ve been using the squeeze tube of ginger that you get in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. Saves me a ton of time. But I bet if I grate my own it will taste even more fresh. Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe!
This looks so good. Will it be enough for a large-ish stir fry? 1.5 lbs chicken, loads of veggies and served over rice, 6 people in total. Making tonight so I’m hoping it’ll be enough.
I’d double the recipe, and use as much of the sauce as you need! Just to be safe.

Count me in on this! For anyone having issues with soy sauce (sodium, etc.), I’ve been using Bragg Liquid Aminos for a long time now and it totally works. Thank for sharing this, Natalie.
Great recipe!!!! I always used soya sauce and watered it down a bit, but found it way too strong.
The chicken broth etc. works excellent….thank you!!
Wow this was great! We used braggs instead of soy just because it has so many health benefits and we love braggs with everything but I was worried that it would still be too salty, turned out AMAZING! I did the powdered ginger was perfect and added more garlic, maybe four or five cloves. Everyone one loved it! Our 5 and 8 year old couldn’t get enough and hubby liked it too! We will be making this for every kind of stir fri from now on and maybe adding new things into it too ! Thank you so much!
★★★★★
I am so happy to hear that Heather! My mom is obsessed with braggs. She’s vegan, and very careful about what she eats. Braggs would be a great substitute! I tend to add in even more garlic than this too. I’m a big garlic girl, but I know some people aren’t. Thank you for taking the time to tell me you liked my recipe! You just made my day! Hugs!
Love this sauce! Thanks for sharing. It’s one of the few that my toddler will consistently eat.
★★★★★
I’m so happy to hear that Chantelle! And that your kids love it. They sound like good eaters. Hopefully this helps them enjoy their vegetables : )
Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe! You just made my day!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have looking for a recipe like this for a long, long time. It was simple and very addictive! I would have never thought of using the rice vinegar or vegetable broth!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked it! It’s one of my favorites. And so easy to make! I’ll never buy store stir fry sauce again. Thanks for taking the time to come tell me you liked my recipe. You just made my day! Hugs!
I tried this sauce tonight with chicken and a premixed stir-fry bag from the produce section. It was a total hit with all four of us! Thank you for sharing the recipe. We will be making this again.
★★★★★
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you for taking the time to let me know you like my recipe. You made my night! I have this stir fry sauce on the menu for us this week. I make it at least twice a month.
I’ve been in the hunt for a good stir fry sauce for years now. I’ve tried countless recipes and most are sub-par with my husbands standards. He always hates stir fry night because the sauce is never up to his expectations. I made stir fry last night and tried your recipe and it was delicious! My husband said this was the best sauce to date so I guess this is my new go-to! Thank you!!!
I am so happy to hear that Katie! This is definitely the only stir fry sauce recipe you need. I’ve used it with countless combinations of vegetables, and it’s great with them all. I love that your husband said it was the best sauce to date. I’m blushing! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe. You just made my day! Happy New Year!

Can I use chicken or vegetable stock instead
Hi Fiona. Definitely! You can use stock instead of broth, either chicken or vegetable, whichever you have on hand. Hope you love this stir fry sauce! It’s a major favorite in our house : )

My husband, me and our 2 girls (aged 11 & 13) loved this recipe! I had all the ingredients on hand and did not feel like I ate a pound of salt…
★★★★★
Yea! I’m so glad you and your family liked it Katie! Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe. You made my day!
i just came across your website as I was looking for a stir fry recipe. Decided to try your stir fry recipe sauce based on the reviews. Best ever. My husband commented that this was better than the stir fry we had last week at a local restaurant.
I’m so glad you liked it! It is such a favorite in our house. Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe. And that you think it’s better than restaurant quality! You made my day!
I made this tonight and wish I had the low sodium soy sauce. I didn’t and it was too salty.
If you like a low amount of salt, low sodium would be much better! Try that next time. I’ve made it with low sodium before and it is definitely less salty.
Made this a few times and love it. Wanted to make tonight the only thing is I don’t have honey, can I use sugar instead?
I’m so glad you like it Leslie! And yes, you can use sugar, maple syrup, brown sugar, coconut sugar, etc. Any sugar substitute you like!

Best stir fry sauce I’ve ever tried. My husband is on a lower sodium diet, so this has much less sodium than bottled sauces. Delicious! I used this time in pork fried rice. I used this recipe as written; it didn’t need any adjustments.
★★★★★
Yea! I’m so glad you loved it Victoria! And yes, this has MUCH less sodium than bottled sauces. You could even use low sodium soy sauce to make it even lower. Oooh, and now I want to use this in pork fried rice too. Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe, made my day!
This is my second time making this and we LOVE it! (even the picky ones) Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it :)
★★★★★
I’m so glad you love it Kim! Even your picky eaters. Such a huge compliment! I make this stir fry so often, and with all sorts of combos of veggies. Big hugs to you!
Maybe it was the soy sauce that I used, but this was waaaaaay too salty (I used reduced sodium soy sauce). I made it for my boyfriend and we ended up throwing it out and ordering pizza.
★★
Darn, sorry it was too salty for you Janice! I hate that. I use Kikkoman or Trader Joe’s soy sauce. The regular ones, not the low sodium ones. Did you salt the meat or veggies you were cooking? Because you don’t want to salt the cooking food at all. The sauce has enough flavor.
I made your stir-fry sauce and I must say it is delicious!!! Last night I followed your recipe for the Green Bean stir-fry chicken! It was very yummy, my daughter and I loved it!! The only modification I made was after cooking everything, I cooked the chicken and sauce for 2 minutes and added the rest of the ingredients for the final minute just to keep the veggies from being too soft! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!
★★★★★
Yea! I’m so glad you liked it Lydia! One of my favorite dinners. And great idea adding the veggies last so they stay crisp. I’m going to try that next time! Thanks for sharing your tip. You are so nice to let me know you liked my recipe. You made my day!
Which sauce are you talking about being to delicious?
I love the Wonky Ogee curtains!
DELICIOUS.
Ok, it’s not done yet. But I’ve had, and made, quite a few sauces before. I tasted this before putting my chicken to marinate in it and I loved how it tasted!! I will come back and let you know after it’s cooked, but I’m sure it’ll be even better then!! I agree, so far it does seem like the BEST one I’ve had.
I used toasted sesame oil because that’s what I have. I’m not sure if there’s a difference or not, but I like it.
★★★★★
Yea! I’m so glad you liked it Jenavive! It is my favorite it. I make a stir fry about once a week. So easy and tasty and healthy. And yes, toasted sesame seed oil is perfect. I use that half the time. I buy it at Trader Joe’s. Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe. You made my day!
Made your stir fry sauce for my family tonight and it was a big hit! I make stir fries once a week and always use the store bought sauces. This was way better and super easy to make!! 5 stars
Yea! So happy to hear that Lauren! Best compliment to get. And yes, you’ll never need to buy store bought again. The store bought stir fry sauce has so much sodium and chemicals. This is much better. Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe. You made my day!
Sorry, but I beg to differ. The amount of soy sauce was WAY to much for the other ingredients. I had to add add a half
cup of water just to make it right.
Sorry it was too salty for you!
I made and split everything ..my..husband has Bartter Syndrome and needs lots of salt. I am a straight out serious heart patient and use low sodium. No problems at all! . Just great!
★★★★★
I just made this sauce with a chicken and veggie stir fry. Delicious! Not too salty and thickens up to the perfect consistency. I added some red pepper flakes for a little heat. I will definitely make this again!
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Laura! Yea! It’s the perfect amount of salt for me too. My husband likes it spicy, so he adds red pepper flakes to his too. Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe! Made my night!
Well I made my very first stir fry tonight, and I used your sauce. The only change was the rice vinegar – I didn’t have of that, and started searching thru the stuff in the door of my fridge. Found a bottle of cocktail onions (why did I have those? I don’t even drink!) and decided to use some of that instead. Seemed to work ok – I really liked the flavor of the sauce.
While I didn’t use your stir fry ingredients, I did follow your tip to cook them each separately. I used zucchini, asparagus, broccoli, green onions, red bell pepper, carrot, and some cooked chicken I had from the freezer. Quite tasty! My guy says he thinks he could eat that at least once a week!
Here’s my question – HOW DO YOU PUT THIS TOGETHER IN 30 MINUTES??? Between finely chopping the garlic and ginger for the sauce and then washing and chopping up all the veggies, it was a good hour’s worth of time just doing that! Granted, I know I’m slow, but still! The meal COOKS quickly, but the prep work is definitely not fast – at least for me! Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked it Mary! And so funny about the cocktail onions! I was a bartender in college, and was always so grossed out when I had to dig in that onion jar for an onion. But hey, if you like it then get it! Glad to hear it worked in the sauce. The rice vinegar is really just to give it some tang, so the onion juice would definitely do that.
Glad you guy liked it too!
And I love your question, because there is a tip I do that saves a ton of time! I chop and start the first ingredient, and as that one is cooking, I chop the next ingredient. Each veggie takes 2-3 minutes to cook, which is the perfect amount of time to cut the next one. Hope that helps next time!
Wow! I rarely make stir fry, but after having this sauce I will making it more often. Delicious, the only change I made was to use Braggs amino acid instead of soy sauce or tamari. I only used half the amount listed. We dont eat much salt. Really yummy sauce. Thank you.
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Delia! I make a stir fry with this sauce a few times a month. Such a great and healthy dinner packed with vegetables. I’m so glad you liked it! My mom loves Braggs amino acid too! Glad to hear it works as a great substitute for the soy sauce. Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe!
Love this recipe! Do you think I could marinate the meat in it? If so would I add in the cornstarch during marinating or after?
I haven’t recipe tested the stir fry sauce as a marinate, but I think it would be delicious Sarah! I would go ahead and make it as written with thickener and all. What a fantastic idea!
Hi! Is it possible to make a batch of the sauce and freeze it? I’m always looking to make dinner super fast. Thanks in advance!
You know, I’ve never frozen it before. But I would imagine it would work. I would freeze it in a freezer bag. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
So, I used this recipe but I was thinking “how great can this actually be?” So great! My whole family was like, “this is the best stir fry you’ve ever made!” So thanks. :)

Yea! So glad you liked it Jessica! I make a stir fry with this sauce about once a week. So happy that your family liked it. Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe, means the world!

I have tried this sauce a few times now and modified it slightly to make a one serve sauce. It is absolutely awesome. I have it a couple of times a week with different proteins and greens. I add a generous squirt of Sriracha sauce to fire it up and it is the best! Thanks for the inspiration Natalie
★★★★★
I was looking for a yummy Weight Watchers-friendly stir fry sauce using garlic, ginger and sesame oil. I used this sauce in a veggie stir fry and it was perfect! We added a little sriracha when we stirred the veggies with the sauce and sprinkled toasted sesame seeds on the stir fry at the end. Thanks for the great recipe!

This really is my favorite go-to stir-fry sauce recipe. Bravo! I use arrowroot powder in place of cornstarch and add hot chile sauce too.
★★★★★
I’m trying to avoid soy altogether. I’m wondering if anyone has tried this using coconut aminos instead? I’ have found that while the coconut aminos are less salty, it also lacks the depth of flavor that the tamari has. Opinions, suggestions and descriptions of experiences with coconut aminos would be warmly welcomed!

I know this is an old post but what if I do it have rice. Invest? What can I use? And I don’t have sherry either.
Absolutely delicious, ran out of stir fry sauce from the store that we usually use. This was so much better that I’ll never buy store bought again! Thanks!
Looks like a great recipe! One question. In the introduction, you said to add all of the ingredients to the mason jar and shake, but the recipe itself says to whisk all of the ingredients together. Which should it be?
You can do either!
This recipe really was Awesome. Everyone in my family loved it, including the picky eaters. I didn’t have to change anything. Thanks

OMG! These best sauce so far that I made. I am trying to lose weight and this was so good. Before I put in cornstarch, I used a little to marinade my meat and that was the best decision!!.. This is a keeper. Next time I am going to add some red chilies to sauce to get some spice to it. I have to say if you add a bit more ginger it almost taste like the Yummy Yummy sauce at Arigato’s Japanese Restaurant. Thank you so much!

can you make this ahead of time and keep refrigerated and then reheat in microwave for lunches?
You sure can! I will make a big batch of stir fry veggies and meat with this sauce, then divide it in glass storage containers to reheat for lunch during the week. Microwave works great!
Hi, I love this as a hostess gift. Looking at the ingredients, I am not sure why it would only be good for one week? Could it last a month?
True, I guess it could last for 1 week. The chicken stock that I use says to use within 2 weeks of opening, so that should be the safe refrigerator life for the stir fry sauce. Good point! Thanks Sheryl!
Great easy sauce.
★★★★★
Thanks Ginger! Glad you liked it!
Made this sauce tonight but did a cheater version– I put the ingredients in with the veggies I was sautéing without making the sauce by itself first. It turned out great, though not quite as thickened as I imagine it might if I had cooked it first. We loved it! We made ours vegan by using the veggie broth and we just skipped the sweetener all together since we like things tangy. Only other thing we added was sriracha sauce for some kick. Thank you!
★★★★★
I’m so glad you liked it Laurel! I’m excited to hear it’s still tasty without any honey. I’ve been toying with the idea of making a sugar and gluten free version of this stir fry sauce. You’ve inspired me to get back to it! Thanks for letting me know you liked my recipe, you made my day!

I’m so glad to hear that Childa! Thank you so so so much!
This was such a delicious stir fry sauce! I happened to already sauté the ginger and garlic before I found this recipe, so I didn’t add it to the sauce. Next time I will add the ginger and garlic to the sauce.
★★★★★
Thank you Marina! So glad to hear you liked it. And yes, adding the garlic and ginger straight to the stir fry works too. Great idea! Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked my recipe. Made my day!

This is interesting sauce , haven’t tried it before so don’t know how does it taste. Thanks for the recipe
You’re going to love it! You must try it!
Sauce is easy to make and perfect for stir fries.Substituted hoi-sin sauce for honey and used “velveted chicken” for a. more authentic Asian dish.
★★★★★
Yea! So glad you liked it! Thank you so much Robert!
Oh my goodness.. what an amazing sauce. So easy to make ahead and refrigerate. I have tried for so long to find something like this. Mad if you at don’t try it once in your life. A M A Z I N G!!!
★★★★★
Thank you SO much Judith! That means so much! You just made my day!
I literally made this epic sauce just before and paired it with my stir fry of ramen noodles, chicken, garlic, onion, broccoli, carrots, capsicum, baby corn, snap peas & zucchini and it turned out amazing!!!
Will definitely be doing this again.
★★★★★
This is such a wonderful compliment! Epic is the perfect word for it! Thank you Michael! Your stir fry sounds amazing!
I agree… this is the best. Easy to make, delicious to eat. The only I added was some hot pepper flakes. This is a definite keeper.
★★★★★
Hurray! So glad you like it Sandy! My husband adds red pepper flakes too, he loves the spice.
Llove this stir fry sauce so much. I also added 1/2 a red chilli for a bit of extra spice – so good.
★★★★★
Oh that sounds delicious! I’m going to try that next time! Happy to hear you loved it Rae!
Hi, NATALIE!! Everything is ready, I will report the results to you soon, I am very excited to try
★★★★★
Yea! Hope you love it as much as I do Melissa!
Love this sauce! I’m wondering why it wouldn’t keep for more than a week though?
★★★★★
I am so happy you like this sauce. When you add in the garlic and ginger you should really only keep it for about a week. It starts to break down after that.
I have made this recipe several times. It is delicious and we find it difficult to limit ourselves to one serving!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked this Norm! It is very difficult to have just one serving. I am so glad you have enjoyed this several times.
I made this recipe tonight after a quick google in the grocery store. It did not disappoint!! This will be my new go to for stir fry and marinades! I didn’t have corn starch, so I used flour (about 3 Tbsp). I added a few shakes of dried chili flakes for a touch of heat. I also marinaded my chicken in about half of the sauce for about 30 minutes while I chopped all my veggies. Then I precooked the chicken with as little sauce as possible, removed and then cooked the veggies in the same pot, adding sauce slowly as I went. Adding the chicken again at the end. Usually I find sauces do not thicken, this one did. It was not too powerful and had a lot of depth! Delicious. What a find, Thank you!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce Heidi! Your dinner sounds absolutely delicious! Marinating the chicken in the sauce really brings out the flavor. I also love the way the sauce thickens.
Really tasty!
★★★★★
So glad you liked it Stella!
This salad looks very appealing.
I can use it for dinner.
Hi Peter! I sure hope you enjoy it!
You sure you don’t mean 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar?
Thanks for the question Becca. I always use 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar in my stir fry sauce. That is the perfect acid balance for me. If you prefer more, by all means do 1 tablespoon! Recipes are meant to be adjusted to your taste.
Is this a salad? It looks different.
★★★★★
Thanks for your question about my stir fry sauce Peter. I think your question is about the photo in the post. It isn’t a salad, it is a green bean stir fry. Here is a link to the recipe:
https://www.tasteslovely.com/green-bean-stir-fry-chicken-sesame-seeds/
This dish is completely natural and beneficial to health.
I will make a small party to invite my friends.
I will share the recipe with my friends when they are trying to lose weight.
yeah.

I sure hope you like it Jessica! Happy cooking!
Yep it was the best! We have a sesame (also nuts) allergy go google said I could use canola oil. It turned out delicious anyway. Great recipe! A family favorite.
★★★★★
I am so glad to know you liked my stir fry sauce Christi! Thanks for letting me know it worked well with canola oil. I am so happy it turned out delicious and is a new family favorite! Yea!

It was ok a little boring. Nothing special.
Thanks for the feedback Jeannette!
My husband and I loved this stir fry sauce. It had just the right amount of spice.
Thank you
★★★★★
I am so glad you and your husband like my stir fry sauce Christine. That is fantastic that the spice is just right for both of you.
Outstanding stir fry sauce recipe!!!
I am so glad you liked my stir fry sauce Denise. That is fantastic that it was outstanding! Yeah!
Nice flavours but wa-a-a-y too salty!! I’m going to try it again but with half the amount of soy sauce.
★★★
Well shoot! I am sorry the flavor profile was too salty for you Kim. Great idea to reduce the soy sauce next time you make it. Finding the correct salt level can be tricky. I am glad you liked the flavor though.
I loved it! The agave added the perfect sweetness. I used powdered ginger and garlic powder because I didn’t want to go to the store. Turned out great!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my stir fry sauce Aimee! That is fantastic that you improvised with what you had on hand. I do that all the time!
Make this sauce recipe right now!!! So easy and had amazing flavor! Never buying store made again.
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce Laura! I love that you aren’t going to buy store bought anymore. Isn’t it fantastic when you can make it yourself? It’s so much healthier!
Hi! We love this stir fry recipe since it’s gluten free and sugar free. Have you ever tried to freeze?
Thank you.
Shari
I am so happy you like my stir fry sauce Shari! I haven’t frozen it before, but I bet it would work. I know Trader Joe’s sells frozen meals with the stir fry sauce frozen in a separate bag. You just thaw it out in a cup of warm water. I usually use it up and there is none left over to freeze! LOL!
The BEST Stir Fry Sauce is great! This is my family’s favorite food, it’s great to be able to prepare them at home for everyone to enjoy. Thanks for your detailed tutorial, I just need to follow and everything is easy. Best regards!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce Thomas! I agree, it is great to be able to prepare your family’s favorite meal at home. That way it is so much healthier and tasty!
In my grocery store, they didn’t have plain rice vinegar. One was mild and mellow the other sweet. Which should I use?
Since the sauce already has a sweetener in it, I would probably go with the mild and mellow rice vinegar Nikki. I sure hope you like the sauce!
Love the flavor. Only thing was it was so black in colour it didn’t look very appealing. Couldn’t see tge nice colours of the vegetables. Must be doing something wrong.
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked the flavor of my stir fry sauce Callie. The sauce itself is of course dark, but it really shouldn’t blacken the veggies. The colors of the veggies should shine through. I am stumped! I can’t figure out why it darkened the veggies. Hmm….?
FINALLY a home made stir fry sauce that tastes delicious!
My son is Soya Free so I used Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce. It was full of flavour, even if I do say so myself :-)
Thank you so much! This will now be a weekly meal!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce PBGBB! It’s good to hear worcestershire sauce worked instead of soy sauce. That is fantastic. I am so glad this will be part of your weekly recipe rotation.
So good! I always struggle with stir-fry sauce for some reason and I think the arrowroot is the ticket. Thank you!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my stir fry sauce Hope. I used to struggle with stir fry sauce too! It took me quite a bit of recipe testing to get it just right. I am so happy you liked it. Thanks for the feedback!
Good but WAY too salty!!!
I am glad you liked my stir fry sauce, but I am bummed it was too salty for you Deb. I would definitely reduce the soy sauce next time. That should reduce the saltiness a good amount.
Really good basic recipe. I eliminated the oil and added a couple tablespoons of hot Chinese mustard. Lots of variations are possible. I’ll be using this again and again.
★★★★
I am so glad you liked my stir fry sauce Pat. I love you tweak to the recipe. Adding Chinese mustard instead of oil is a fantastic idea! I’ve done that before and it is delicious. You’re right, there are lots of variations for the basic sauce recipe.
Great
★★★★
Thanks!
Deeeeeelicious! We had to improvise a bit because it was a last minute decision to use up some veggies during the shelter-in-place. So . . . we only had about 1/4 c. r/s soy sauce and we didn’t have fresh ginger so we used 1 T. ground ginger. I was a little skeptical about making those changes because fresh ginger is one of my favorite flavors, but it was still a winner. We will definitely being making this again. Thank you!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce Melanie. During this quarantine I think we will all find that we have to do a lot of substitutions with recipes. Yours were really good! I am so glad you will be making this again.
I made this for supper tonight. It was really good although I might reduce the honey to 1 ounce instead of two when I make it again and again and again.
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce and you will be making it again Laura! I love that you are adapting the recipe for your individual taste. That is what cooking is all about!
So delicous! thank you!
★★★★★
I am so glad you liked my stir fry sauce Jane! I am so happy it was delicious.

This was really delicious. I ended up using 1/2 soy sauce, 1/2 coconut aminos, subbing brown sugar for honey & adding a bit of miso paste & squeeze of fresh lime juice. Definitely will be using this recipe again!

I make this a lot. Tweaked by changing to 3/4 cup broth and 1/4 soy. Add chili powder…..Seczwan
I am so glad my stir fry sauce is a part of your regular recipe rotation Bonnie. I love the tweaks you do to it to make it Seczwan. That sounds so delicious!
This IS the BEST stir fry sauce!! Had it last night and it was amazing. I didn’t have fresh ginger or garlic so just used powder…and also didn’t have honey, so used maple syrup. Even with the substitutions, it was EPIC!! I can’t wait to try it when I have all the ingredients!! I will never buy stir fry sauce again. Thanks!!
★★★★★
I am so happy you liked my stir fry sauce Samantha! Your substitutions and additions were genius and sound very delicious! Isn’t it fun to learn how to make something that you have gotten used to buying? Even better when it is more yummy than store bought!

Can the sesame seed oil be substituted for any other oil?
I haven’t recipe tested with oils other than sesame oil, but I think it would work no problem Matt. I would recommend substituting the oil of your choice, just select an oil that you enjoy the flavor of.
This sauce is nothing short of amazing. I’ve made it twice with a variety of vegetables and tofu (fried separately in an air fryer) and the result is phenomenal. Many thanks.
★★★★★
I am so happy you like my stir fry sauce Tom! I love to hear that it has worked well for you with a variety of vegetables and tofu! That is fantastic!

How much do you add to the vegetables/meat? Like half of it?
I would add the stir fry sauce at about a half a cup at a time Lisa. It really depends on the volume of the ingredients in your stir fry. I start with a half of a cup and add according to taste and desired consistency. I sure hope you like it!
Made this tonight and it was amazing! Tons of flavor and super easy. Definitely pinned to make again.
★★★★★
