Does anyone have good sauce ideas for stir-fry? I just put sesame oil and soy sauce on and a lot of salt, but that's kind of boring. :down:

Oh yes. My favorite classic sauce is to first saute some freshly grated ginger, minced shallot and garlic together in some peanut oil. Then add your soy sauce, some mirin (japanese sweet cooking wine) or sake, a pinch of sugar and a tbs of cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbs of water, which will thicken it. I can't give you exact measurements right now, unfortunately, because I eyeball everything.

I use fresh ginger, garlic and toasted sesmae oil in the stirfry, then add tamari, hot red pepper and some all-fruit apricot or plum jam. To thicken I add a little arrowroot mixed with water. Sorry I don't have measurements--I just add what seems right. If I have some, I also add a little sherry.

Eggplant, yours is very similar to mine. I also use sherry (forgot that ingredient) and also chiles when I have them. YUM... :lick:

I sometimes use some black bean sauce in it. Usually I'll add vegetable stock, or i'm using store bought seitan, the seitan juice makes a good sauce.

An awesome sauce I concocted was using the soaking water from dried ****ake mushrooms. I added just a little and it gave a wonderful flavor along with the reconstituded mushroom in fried rice.
