Ingredients

For gluten free stir fry sauce pre-mix:

2/3 cup of gluten free chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut aminos
1 teaspoon of oil
1 tablespoon of gluten free oyster sauce
1/8 teaspoon of white pepper

For finishing the gluten free stir fry sauce:

1 tablespoon of oil
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/8 teaspoon of ginger
1 tablespoon of sherry

For slurry:

2 tablespoons of cold water
2 tablespoons of gluten free flour

Instructions

For gluten free stir fry sauce pre-mix

In a measuring cup or bowl, stir together two-thirds of a cup of chicken broth with oyster sauce, coconut aminos, a teaspoon of oil, and white pepper.
Set this aside.
2/3 cup of gluten free chicken broth, 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon of oil, 1 tablespoon of gluten free oyster sauce, 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper

Finish sauce in your skillet:

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Add garlic and ginger. Not too much, it's very strong. Stir until garlic is tender, about 1 minute.
1 tablespoon of oil, 2 cloves of garlic minced, 1/8 teaspoon of ginger
Then add sherry to deglaze the pan.
1 tablespoon of sherry
Then add the pre-mix and simmer for a 2-3 minutes as the flavors meld.

For slurry:

Finally, make a slurry to thicken the sauce.
In a small bowl, stir 2 tablespoons of gluten free flour into 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved and then gradually drizzle the slurry into the sauce in the skillet while continuously whisking until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. (If the flour clumps, strain out the clumps with a fine-mesh sieve gently pressing with a spoon to remove undissolved flour.)
2 tablespoons of cold water, 2 tablespoons of gluten free flour
Toss in your favorite already cooked stir fry recipe (meat, veggies, noodles, or rice) and simmer so the sauce's flavor is infused into the dish. Yields about 1 cup of sauce

Notes

Watch how to make it

Are there any specific vegetables or proteins that work well with this sauce?

This versatile sauce pairs well with a variety of stir fry ingredients. I use it in my chicken and broccoli recipe.

You can use it with your choice of vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas. It also complements proteins such as chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, or even a medley of mixed vegetables.

Can I use this sauce for other dishes besides stir fry?

Absolutely! While this sauce is specifically designed for stir fry, it can be used as a flavorful glaze or dipping sauce for various dishes. It adds a delicious touch to grilled meat or fish, roasted vegetables, or even as a drizzle for salads.

Can I adjust the spiciness of the sauce?

Absolutely! If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add red pepper flakes or sriracha.

Can I prepare this sauce ahead of time?

Yes! After your sauce is cooked, allow it to cool and transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store for up to 1 week. Give it a good stir before adding it to your stir fry.
