The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, cornstarch and water together in a jar or bowl until the cornstarch dissolves.

  2. Stir in the garlic and ginger.

  3. To use, stir-fry about 1 pound of meat and vegetables, then pour in the sauce (stir it again first). Toss over high heat until it bubbles and turns glossy, about 1 minute.

Tips

  • Always stir the sauce right before adding it. The cornstarch settles to the bottom.
  • Add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili crisp for heat.
  • Mix a double batch and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week for fast weeknight stir-fries.
