Simple Stir-Fry Sauce

I was bragging to Ana last night about how good my cooking skills are getting. She of course replied with crabbing about how I never remember to cook when she's home. Pshaw.

So, I figure I'd share some of my vast cooking-fu. I am a frequent wok user, normally doing various stir-fries but sometimes other weird stuff. At any rate, in my younger days, I was always looking for a good stir-fry sauce in grocery stores and asian markets. I never was able to find anything great. Here's the reason - they are all crap. They are jammed with preservatives and other junk that kill the taste. Save your money.

So, through my decades, if not centuries, of wok experience, I've come up with a good all-around stir fry sauce that is easy and cheap to make. Mix up the proportions to taste.

Jason's Simple Stir-Fry Sauce
1 part soy sauce (I like the San-J Organic Tamari)
1 part mirin (Japanese rice cooking wine - I like the Eden brand)
Some crushed garlic (to taste)
Some chili sauce (to taste, I like Sriracha - AKA Rooster Sauce)
Some thin sliced green onions (optional, to taste)

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk.
2. Add to stir-fry when about 80% done, and increase heat.
3. Enjoy.

RIP Gerby von Gerbison (aka Dwayne Wade) - 2006-2009

My sister's black gerbil died last night. He was a cute little guy and a good pet. He had been living in her bathtub for a few months ever since the other two gerbils decided they didn't like him anymore and they had to be separated. JoAnn took good care of him, especially as he got a bit older and had to be assisted while eating/drinking. We'll miss ya' little guy - rest in peace.
