Basic Chinese Sauce For Stir Fry Recipes

REAL CHINESE ALL PURPOSE STIR FRY SAUCE

Real Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce image

My secret weapon for mid week meals - an All Purposes Chinese Stir Fry Sauce, a versatile base that makes a wonderfully glossy sauce for any stir fry, including stir fried noodles. Store it in the fridge in a jar for when you need it - just make sure to leave sufficient headroom in the jar so you can give it a good shake before using. This makes 1 1/2 cups of sauce which is enough for around 12 servings.

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning blend (such as Tony Chachere's®), or to taste
1 ¼ cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 teaspoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 cups shredded cabbage
25 sugar snap peas, chopped

Steps:

Sprinkle chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning.
Whisk chicken broth, cornstarch, and 3 teaspoons soy sauce together in a bowl until completely blended.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep frying pan or wok over high heat. Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until cooked through, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and drain any accumulated liquids.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the frying pan or wok over high heat. Stir fry cabbage, snap peas, asparagus, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and bamboo shoots for 1 minute. Stir in 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Continue cooking until vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes.
