UNIVERSAL Stir Fry Sauce
The one sauce you need to make hundreds of Thai stir fries, fried rice and fried noodles. This is the secret sauce that allows Thai restaurants to have so many things on the menu. Make a big batch and keep in the fridge for easy weeknight meals!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain Sauce or Maggi Seasoning, see note 1
- 2 teaspoon sugar, optional, see note 2
Notes
- Golden Mountain Sauce is a type of Thai soy sauce; it tastes similar to Maggi Seasoning. If not available, sub an equal amount of regular soy sauce.
- I personally don't add sugar to my stir fry sauce because I find different recipes require different amounts of sweetness, so I like to add it when cooking. However, if you're not too picky about sweetness, you can add it to the sauce for maximum convenience.
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except sugar in a glass jar or another well-sealing container.¼ cup oyster sauce, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon Golden Mountain Sauce or Maggi Seasoning
- If adding sugar, place the sugar into a small heat proof bowl, then add a splash (~2 teaspoons) of hot water to it and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add this syrup to the sauce and stir to mix. Store the sauce in the fridge until ready to use.2 teaspoon sugar
- When using, you need about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of sauce per 1 serving of stir-fry. This is a rough estimate, so be sure to taste and adjust every time. If you did not add sugar to the sauce, you may want to add ¼ - ½ teaspoons of sugar per serving to help balance the salt.
