Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 tsp. ginger (freshly grated)
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch or arrowroot (more for thicker sauce)
Optional add-ins:
  • 1 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
  • 1-2 Tbsp. chives or green onions
  • 1-2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp. sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine. (Or add to a jar, seal lid, and shake.)
  2. Using in stir-fry: Cook veggies (or protein of choice) until crisp-tender. Re-stir the sauce and pour it into the pan with veggies. Toss to combine and simmer over medium-high heat for a few minutes until the sauce is thickened. Serve your stir-fry over cooked rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

  • Yield: Recipe makes just over 1 cup sauce. I find this matches about 8-10 cups raw vegetables, which is a large stir fry with about 4-5 servings. Adjust sauce amount accordingly for smaller or bigger batches.
  • Customizing: Use more or less of the flavors you enjoy. For a spicy version, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste.
  • Thickness: For a thicker sauce, reduce the vegetable broth to about 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup.
  • Storing: Store sauce in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
  • For gluten-free: Use tamari and a GF hoisin sauce if using. (I use San-J brand hoisin.)
