what kind of sauce would you use over this stir fry? (chicken, carrots)

[Angorlee]

It is going to be small chunks of pork with carrots and some other greens over rice. I am thinking of Hoisin sauce. Any other ideas?

I love pork (or beef or chicken or salmon) with peanut sauce or Thai sweet chili sauce -- I always have both on hand.

Let us know what you use and how it turns out!

A little minced ginger maybe ?

I'd personally start with a good non salty beef base ( Au-Jus )
then add a bit of fresh ginger, garlic, oyster sauce.

Once hot add the meat and veggies, keep an eye on the heat
and hopefully you've seared the goods before you add the beef
base. a mixture of water and corn starch would be the time to
SLOWLY add while constantly stirring until you reach your thickness
you prefer and then add a bit of dark brown sugar

Oyster sauce, thinned a bit, with garlic and/or ginger.

Lee Kum Kee black bean garlic sauce has stir fry instructions on the jar if you can find it near you.

Exactly what I was thinking. Though I would probably dump some sirarcha on their too.

2 1/2 T soy sauce
1 T cooking wine (rice wine or dry sherry)
1 t corn starch
1/2 t sugar


Blend together until corn starch is well suspended in the liquid. Pour over your cooked meat and veggies, stir until the sauce thickens.


You can add a pinch of ginger powder, or stir fry fresh ginger with your meat.

either peanut sauce or thai would be my first idea. Of course I do not do stir fry as often as I do fried rice and cook veggies like snow peas separately. Generally I use fresh ginger as well. My fried rice consists of rice, obviously, sesame oil, peas, carrots, some type of meat or fish and the sauce plus a little soy sauce. Sometimes I skip the peanut or thai sauce and just use soy.
