Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger minced

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds optional

Instructions

Notes

  •  This recipe makes 1 cup of stir fry sauce.
  • It's important to dissolve the cornstarch before adding it to the sauce; otherwise, the sauce will turn out lumpy when you heat it.
  • If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of honey, or for more sweetness, add a bit more until it suits your taste.
