Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, honey, and rice vinegar. Stir well to blend the ingredients.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha (if using) to the sauce mixture. Mix to incorporate the flavors evenly.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 4

Gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce base while stirring vigorously to ensure no clumps form.

Step 5

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and pour in the stir fry sauce mixture. Stir constantly as it begins to simmer to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat immediately to prevent over-thickening.

Step 7

Use immediately in your stir fry, or allow the sauce to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
