Name: The Best Stir Fry Sauce
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 8 min
Ingredients: 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)

The Best Stir Fry Sauce

soy sauce (or Tamari if gluten free)

chicken stock (or vegetable broth if vegan)

corn starch (or arrow root)

honey (or agave nectar if vegan)

sesame seed oil

rice vinegar

garlic cloves, grated or finely minced

Vegetables and meat of your choosing

The BEST Stir Fry Sauce

Whisk all ingredients together. Adjust the amount of sauce you add according to how much stir fry you&#8217;re making. When adding to your stir fry, allow to cook for 3 full minutes to allow the corn starch to thicken the sauce.

Makes 1-1/4 cups. Will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 1 week.

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. :)

Yummmm!! Made this tonight and used tamarind sauce due to being gluten free. This was delicious!! Sesame oil is what gives it that awesome Asian flavor!! Definitely a keeper!!

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!!!

This was perfect. My only regret was not doubling the recipe.

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.

delicious! didn't have the rice vinegar..used rice wine instead..very tasty..

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!!

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.

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!

Love this sauce! Thanks for sharing. It's one of the few that my toddler will consistently eat.

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 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 made this tonight with the green bean and chicken recipe and it was... hmmmm.... awesome! My wife even said it was a keeper, thank you so much!

My husband, me and our 2 girls (aged 11 &amp; 13) loved this recipe! I had all the ingredients on hand and did not feel like I ate a pound of salt...

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.

This is my second time making this and we LOVE it! (even the picky ones) Great recipe! Thanks for sharing it :)

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. :)

This was delicious! My husband immediately said, "This is really good!" more than once :)

Followed the recipe, my stir fry tasted like liquid salt. Where did i go wrong?

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!

Hi my name is jahvonni Thomas in 15 years old and me and my family loved this recipe and it doesn't taste like salt thanks???

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.

excellent base sauce - a couple of teaspoons of Sambal Oelek makes it perfect. Thank you.

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!

I made this sauce tonight for a chicken and vegetable stir fry. It was delicious. I normally tweak recipes to suit personal tastes, however, this had everything I was looking for. For even more convenience, I put everything into my nutri bullet and off we went. Even some saved for later. Thanks!

This is the best sauce! My go to from now on. Five stars!

Absolutely amazing! I tried this with a simple broccoli, red bell pepper, and tofu stir fry. I'll be making this often. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

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!

Tonight will by 3rd time making stir fry with this sauce!!  It’s amazing and so easy to make.  Sometimes I’ll make peapods sautéed with red peppers and I use this sauce with it for a quick and healthy side dish!   I’ll never but prepared stir fry sauce again!

Totally delicious thank you!!! Have made twice now and will be making again!

Delicious and easymake. Put it all in a jar and shake. I like how it thickens and coats the veggies and noodles. I used zucchini noodles and added them in just before the sauce. Thanks!

My family loved this sauce, even my husband, who is not a fan of vegetables! He gobbled it up and went back for seconds. THIS recipe will be a keeper for sure.

wonderful, kid approved! Will add to stir fry recipie book! We only use Liquid Aminos which makes the sodium significantly lower!

I have NEVER been able to make any kind of Asian food that has tasted good, but now I will be making this stir fry sauce on a weekly basis. It’s perfect. Thank you for sharing!

It looks so good and easy to make. This one completely fit with me. Thank you for your recipe!

Best and easiest stir fry sauce ever. Thanks for the recipe.

This is by far the best stir fry sauce! I made it exactly as the recipe read (which is rare). I immediately printed it and out it away for another day. Quick an easy. Thanks!

Loved it, won't make stir fry again without this sauce! Our whole family agreed it was better with the sauce. Thank you!

Literally the best stir fry sauce I’ve had. I love how it is simple and so rich in flavour and coats your ingredients + rice to perfection.

I will never buy another bottle of stir fry sauce after I tasted this absolutely delicious sauce!! my family loved it too...

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.

Stir Fry Sauce is great, they look really cool. I like the color as well as its taste, great. Thanks for your recipe

Love this recipe! it’s a really good and easy recipe

I found this recipe and made it as we didn’t have a pre made sauce in the cupboards. Both my husband and I absolutely loved it. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this great recipe through this article!

Great! This is the best stir-fried sauce I've ever seen. Thanks for your recipe and video tutorials. You make processing them easy. cherish for this

Stir Fry Sauce is great! Your recipe and video tutorials, detailed, are easy to implement, just follow it. thanks again!

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.

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!!!

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 &amp; zucchini and it turned out amazing!!!

Will definitely be doing this again.

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.

Llove this stir fry sauce so much. I also added 1/2 a red chilli for a bit of extra spice - so good.

Hi, NATALIE!!  Everything is ready, I will report the results to you soon, I am very excited to try

Love this sauce! I'm wondering why it wouldn't keep for more than a week though?

I have made this recipe several times.   It is delicious and we find it difficult to limit ourselves to one serving!

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!

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.

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. 

This really is the best. I have tried so many other that never even came close. Bravo.

I love this recipe. It's quick and easy and it tastes so much cleaner than store bought too!

My husband and I loved this stir fry sauce.  It had just the right amount of spice.
Thank you

Nice flavours but wa-a-a-y too salty!! I'm going to try it again but with half the amount of soy sauce.

 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!

Make this sauce recipe right now!!! So easy and had amazing flavor! Never buying store made again.

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!

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.

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!

So good! I always struggle with stir-fry sauce for some reason and I think the arrowroot is the ticket. Thank you!

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.

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 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.

We have been making this weekly since we found the recipe a couple months ago. Thank you! Especially now where we are cooking at home each night.

Easy, quick and the entire family (2 adults and 2 kids) loved it. 

Made this sauce tonight and it was delicious! The recipe is definitely a keeper - many thanks!!

This was easy to make and tasted great! I added a tsp of garlic.

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!! 

Super simple and tasty!! Will definitely keep this one!

The recipe is easy to make, I have tried and succeeded. Everyone in the family loves to eat it. Thank you

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.

Waaaaaay too much ginger. Desperately needed brown sugar.
