Chinese Stir Fry Sauce

Contains no sugar, dairy, vinegars, or gluten - in fact, no grains of any kind.

1 - 2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 or 2 tsp grated fresh ginger

Water as needed

Tamari sauce to taste - start with a couple of tsp at least

potato starch or arrowroot to thicken

tiny pinch stevia

 

On a gentle heat, lightly saute garlic and ginger with a little oil. Add half a cup of water and tamari and heat until mixture is hot but not yet boiling.

 

Meanwhile, mix a heaped tsp of potato starch or arrowroot (both are gluten and grain free) in with enough cold water to make a smooth runny paste. Add to saucepan, stirring until mixture starts to thicken - should not take long.

 

If mixture still too runny mix more potato starch or arrowroot in with a little cold water and repeat.

 

If mixture too thick add more water. Taste and add more tamari. Add a very small pinch of stevia and mix - only use amount the amount that would be picked up on the very tip of a wet finger - it is really strong stuff and if you use too much it tastes super-sweet and you get a bitter aftertaste.

 

Taste and add more tamari if needed or more stevia until the balance of sweet/salty is too your taste. The stevia takes the place of honey so if you can eat honey, use honey to taste instead.
