Flavoricious Stir Fry Sauce

My childhood was deprived of oriental foods. But the minute I bit into a forkful of stir-fry in college, I was hooked, line and sinker! Hu Hot Mongolian Grill is one of our happy places. The ability to have nearly unlimited options of meat, veggies and sauces to fabricate your own delightful, zippy dish is just plain exhilarating!

I started making stir-fry early on in our marriage. And let's just say it's rapidly evolved over our 7 years of life together! I began my stir-fry journey using only soy for the sauce (ha!). Then I began tossing teriyaki into that mix. I soon realized there are innumerable magnificent flavors that can join the zesty-fun! I'm seriously entertained by playing around with each stir-fry we make, but overall I've landed on this sauce recipe as our go-to. I hope you love it too!

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" Mathew 6:25 NIV
