Helpful tips
- Customize the recipe - The stir-fry sauce is very forgiving, so you don't have to follow the recipe exactly. Make sure to use soy sauce or tamari, some type of vinegar for tanginess, a sweetener of choice, and aromatics like ginger and garlic.
- Make a larger batch - It is a convenient condiment to have on hand that goes well with almost anything! A jar in the fridge will save you tons of time in the kitchen.
- Season to taste - Once the sauce is done simmering, give it a taste and adjust the flavors from there.
