Homemade General Tso Sauce (One-meal Version)
General Tso sauce is one of the most versatile stir fry sauces that I recommend every home cook store a jar in their fridge. Not only does it takes merely 3 minutes to make, but it also goes well with almost everything.
Servings: 2 to 3
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1/3 cup stock chicken stock or vegetarian stock, or water
- 2 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar (or rice vinegar, or balsamic vinegar)
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry, or Japanese sake, or stock)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce (or soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free sauce)
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (or soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free sauce)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Cook
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic , minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger , minced
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Heat oil over medium heat until warm. Add garlic and ginger. Stir a few times to release the fragrance. Stir the sauce again and pour it into the pan. Let it simmer and stir until it thickens.
- Now you can pour the sauce over roast vegetables, serve it as a dipping sauce, or use it in your stir fry.
