Servings: 5 servings
Calories: 116kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- ¼ cup veggie broth or water
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic I use kind from jar
- ½ teaspoon minced or ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch flour, or arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Whisk all ingredients together in medium bowl.
- Allow the vegetables in your stir fry to cook to nearly done before adding the sauce. I like to leave mine just until the broccoli turns a bright green and still has plenty of crispiness. This sauce also works well as a marinade for tofu and tempeh as well as a dipping sauce for veggie pot stickers.

Tips for making this recipe
-
- Thickener- The key to using any sauce in a stir fry is to use a thickener to add body to the dish. Sometimes I use cornstarch or arrowroot powder, and other times if the flour is all I have available, I use that to thicken a sauce. Any of these will work just fine.
- More uses for sauce- This sauce also works great as a marinade for tofu, tempeh, seitan, mushrooms, and more. Simply cover them with the sauce and allow them to marinate for 30 minutes or even overnight to get a fabulously vibrant flavor.
- Adjustments- If you are planning to use this as a marinade or dip, there is no reason to add the thickener. It is only for stir-fries.
