Honey Garlic Stir Fry Sauce
A sweet and savory honey garlic stir fry sauce that caramelizes into a glossy glaze — ready in 8 minutes and perfect for chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Whisk cornstarch and water in a small bowl until fully smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined.
- Stir the cornstarch slurry into the sauce base and mix until evenly distributed.
- Heat wok or skillet over high heat. Cook protein, push to sides, pour sauce into center. Stir constantly 45–60 seconds until glossy and thickened. Toss everything together and serve immediately.
Notes
Always use fresh garlic — powder cannot replicate the aroma or flavor.
