I have all of my veggies, and my chicken, now for the sauce? Anyone know of any GREAT stir fry sauces that they have actually tried before and know are good? Otherwise any that are premade that you just try in the stores? Any good brands for those? I live in southern Minnesota so anything available in this area maybe?

I don't like a lot of sauce on my stir-fry, so I made my own with whatever I had around. . . . started with a little olive oil and half a can of chicken broth, then added soy sauce and something from the fridge with an oriental label on it. . . . let that all cook together for a while, then toss in the chicken and then the veggies. I thought it tasted great!

I use for my sauce I use 1 tsp chicken base (like bouillon only more moist), 1/2 tsp powdered ginger, 2 T soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 T oyster sauce and a little hot water to dissolve the chicken base. I also use black pepper. I sprinkle it over the veggies while they cook and when I add the last of the veggies to the pan, I pour the rest over it. You can thicken it with a little cornstarch if you'd like. If you are using meat in your stir-fry, I drizzle a little sesame oil over the meat while it's browning.

The Chinese use "oyster sauce" which does not contain real oyster, just a flavorful brown sauce which they throw on the food once it's half cooked, add a little soy sauce (salt) and then mix some corn starch with water and add it to the rest making a gravy.
If you use some raw garlic while cooking, it'll taste great with the sauce. Do it all the time.

They actually make packets of Stir-Fry veggies with sauce in them. I usually just brown the meat (beef) or warm the chicken and then stir in the veggies then fill the wok with as much water as you want sauce, season with soy sauce and other seasonings and thicken with Argo.

I blend my own for chinese stir fry...1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 /2 tsp.each - garlic powder, ground ginger and sugar, 1/2 cup cold chicken broth or water, 2 Tbsp. cornstarch, Blend all together and add to stirfry just before finished cooking to thicken. If too thick, add add'l water. No salt, some pepper optional.

soy sauce-quarter cup
white vinegar or rice vinegar- quarter cup
FINELY diced garlic,diced ginger/powdered-1 teaspoon(less powdered)
corn starch-quarter cup
white pepper- a couple shakes
quarter cup sugar or honey
Start a skillet with chopped scallion and chopped chiles(thai if possible)and after 30 seconds or so in a tablespoon of oil,
shake ingredients together in tupperware till cornstarch is assimilated, and add to hot skillet. bring up till bubbling and sauce will start to thicken. It is the sauce restaurants use for General Tso's Chicken.

I agree that the 89 cent packages are the best. I've liked all packages that I have tried and the best thing is that you can add or subtract whatever ingrediant that you don't like. Another good thing is that there's a variety of different sitr fry's so you can choose which you prefer. They are usually in the oriental section at the Grocery.
