This easy stir fry sauce recipe will become your go-to! It’s just 6 ingredients and has the best balance of flavors and silky texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon miso
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (substitute 1/2 tsp minced garlic or 1 small clove, grated)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together all ingredients until a smooth sauce forms. Store in a covered container until using, or use immediately.
  2. To add to a stir fry, use with a 4-serving stir fry like Tofu Stir Fry or Cauliflower Stir Fry. It also works with 1 pound protein like chicken, shrimp, or beef. Cook all the vegetables, then turn off the heat and add the sauce, stirring until it thickens.

Notes

Soy sauce substitutions: Use tamari for gluten-free or coconut aminos for soy-free and gluten-free. Coconut aminos is less salty, so you may need to add a pinch of salt to taste.

Thicker sauce: For noodles or a thicker coating, increase cornstarch to 1 tablespoon.

Spicy version: Add 1-2 teaspoons sriracha or 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes.

Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Stir or shake before using, as cornstarch will settle. Thin with water if needed.

Best results: Always add sauce to the pan off the heat to prevent evaporation and ensure the perfect silky texture.
