Kittencal's Chinese Stir Fry Sauce

Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cold cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (you may reduce the cornstarch slightly for a thinner sauce)
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar (more or less if desired depending on how sweet you want it, start with 4 tablespoons)
• 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (increase if desired to 1 teaspoon)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (can use more)
• 1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar (optional can use more)
• 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (optional or adjust to heat level)

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl whisk the water with cornstarch until blended and smooth.
• 2 add in all remaining ingredients (starting with 4 tablespoons brown sugar) and whisk until blended (if not using right away whisk again before using as the cornstarch settles to the bottom).
• 3 after mixing sample the sauce and adjust/increase the brown sugar, ginger and garlic to taste if needed (please note this sauce will taste sweeter when cooked so do not add in too much more brown sugar).
• 4 add this sauce to hot cooked stir-fried beef, lamb or chicken cubes or strips and cook stirring until bubbly and thickened.
