Garlic Chili Stir Fry Sauce
By Jerry • Sep 19th, 2007 • Category: Recipes
I have a few go-to recipes in my arsenal and this is most definitely one of them. A perfect combination of heat, sweet and sour, it compliments vegetables, fish or chicken well, without overpowering the flavor of the main component.
And it will leave a little tingle on your tongue in the process.
Garlic Chili Stir Fry Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1 tsp. garlic chili paste
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1/2 tsp. roasted garlic rice wine vinegar
Method:
Mix all ingredients in small bowl or shaker bottle. Mix well. Allow to sit 5 minutes and mix a second time to ensure honey is dissolved completely.
Usage:
Add to stir fried foods at end of cooking, or use as dipping sauce for chicken, vegetables, shrimp or fish.
Enjoy!
What I would have done differently had I thought of it at the time:
For more heat, add a bit more of the garlic chili paste. More sour, more vinegar. If using for fish a bit of citrus may be nice, and apple cider vinegar if using for pork with pork. The recipe is very adaptable and you should feel free to have fun with it.
Jerry is the epitome of cooking without a plan. As a matter of fact, he secretly wishes he could participate in an Iron Chef America episode, simply because it is one place where he wouldn't feel at all out of place. Not knowing the ingredients beforehand doesn't make him nervous at all. Of course, the reality is that he'd probably lose and look entirely foolish, but hey, it would still be fun!
