Chinese Stir-Fry Sauce
Description
This Chinese Stir-Fry Sauce combines chicken stock with Shaoxing wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, regular and dark soy sauces, oyster sauce, white pepper, and salt to create a savory, slightly sweet sauce that enhances stir-fried dishes. The mixture is prepared by shaking the ingredients together and can be stored refrigerated for several weeks, making it convenient for multiple stir-fry meals. The sauce provides a complex umami character from the soy and oyster sauces and a touch of sweetness from brown sugar, balanced with the aroma of sesame oil and a mild heat from white pepper. It is intended to be measured and added during cooking to coat ingredients and build flavor without overpowering the dish. This sauce supports a range of stir-fried vegetables, meats, or tofu.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock (or vegetable or mushroom stock; 350ml)
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (can sub gluten-free soy sauce or tamari)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (or vegetarian or gluten-free oyster sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a jar with a tight lid (must hold 2 cups of liquid), combine all of the stir fry sauce ingredients together and shake well.
- This sauce should keep for a few weeks in the refrigerator; all you need to do is measure and pour out what you need for your dish.
Notes
- This recipe yields enough sauce for about three separate stir-fry dishes.
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator and use within a few weeks for optimal freshness.
- The nutritional information provided applies to one serving based on twelve servings of sauce, assuming four servings per dish.
