Simple Chilli Stir Fry Sauce
Stirfrys are a great way to cook a nutritious meal quickly and easily and with the least amount of dishes. Here’s a simple stir fry sauce that I use all the time.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons Oyster Sauce
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon crushed chillies (adjust or omit to taste)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Method
1. Place all ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stir to combine ingredients.
2. Once all ingredients have combined you can remove from the heat, pour over your stir fry and mix through just before serving.
There’s generally enough sugar in the oyster sauce that it doesn’t need additional sugar, but if you like a sweeter sauce consider adding a little bit of sugar to taste, I’d use brown sugar or finely grated palm sugar if I had it on hand.
As per the sugar, I normally find there is enough salt in the soy sauce, but you can add extra if you want.
When it comes to chillies I find it’s a very personal thing. I generally use crushed chillies from a jar, as it keeps well in the fridge so I can always have stirfry sauce ingredients on hand. You can also substitute fresh chillies, or sambal olek. The quantity I use is inoffensive to most people, you can taste it, but it doesnt over power the rest of the flavours in the dish.
