The Best Stir Fry Sauce

I’m sharing the secret ingredients to my favorite stir fry sauce. Try this sauce once and you will never buy bottle again. I suggest doubling the recipe so you can store extra to have on hand. It is an excellent way to add quick flavor to cooked tofu, pour over rice or noodles or for use as a marinade. Here is what you need for this sauce:

soya sauce or tamari (gluten-free)
vegetable stock. I always have a jar of this vegan broth base so I never run out of vegetable stock.
arrowroot powder or cornstarch
maple syrup or agave
sesame oil
rice wine vinegar
garlic cloves
ginger
juice from 1/2 lime

Is This Recipe Gluten-Free?

NO! Coeliacs should avoid seitan altogether. The main ingredient is vital wheat gluten and this cannot be substituted. Sorry about that but I have lots of great recipes you can try like my Sweet & Sour Tofu or Curried Cauliflower Rice Bowl.
