A simple and quick 3-ingredient stir fry sauce combining soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and cornstarch to create a savory, glossy sauce perfect for enhancing any stir fry dish.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Combine Soy Sauce and Sesame Oil: Grab a small bowl or mason jar and pour in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Stir gently to blend the flavors evenly.
  2. Add Cornstarch: Sprinkle the cornstarch into the liquid mixture. This ingredient will help thicken the sauce when cooked.
  3. Whisk Until Smooth: Whisk or shake vigorously to eliminate any lumps of cornstarch, creating a smooth, uniform sauce.
  4. Set Aside: Leave the sauce aside while you prepare your stir fry ingredients. The sauce is ready to be added during cooking.

Notes

  • This sauce is versatile and works well with any combination of vegetables, meats, or tofu in stir fry recipes.
  • To achieve a thicker consistency, add the sauce during the last few minutes of stir frying and cook until it visibly thickens.
  • If you prefer a lower sodium option, use a reduced-sodium soy sauce.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
