I’m easily intimidated by stir-fry recipes, and all of the special ingredients they normally require like fresh ginger or sesame oil, so when I came across a recipe for a simple sauce, I figured I’d give it a shot.

It turned out to be fabulous, for a fraction of the cost if I’d ordered in, and healthy.

My husband liked it so much that he asked me to put it on the weekly dinner rotation.

Since first I shared this recipe, I’ve been getting tons of emails about what kinds of kitchen tools I use when stir-frying meats, fish and vegetables. I use a basic wok similar to this T-Fal wok, and I use wooden spoons while cooking. As for the soy sauce I recommend Kikkoman Lite Soy Sauce, as it’s lower in sodium. We use the same soy for sushi.
