Recipe Introduction
This is a very basic sauce of soy, ginger & garlic. It is strong in all of these flavors and makes enough to keep in the fridge for weeks. The use of cornstarch will "gel" the sauce when it cools, so don�t think it has gone bad � it will liquify for you when reheated.
List of Ingredients
5 cups of soy sauce (4 ten-ounce bottles)
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of fresh, grated ginger (about six small roots)
1/4 cup of minced garlic
1 cup of very cold water
1/2 cup of cornstarch
Recipe
Heat the soy sauce and water in a saucepan over low heat while you prepare the vegetables. Peel the ginger root and shred them to a pulp using a grater. Peel and mince garlic (or buy the pre-minced garlic sold at the store in a jar) When soy comes to a light boil, mix the one cup of very cold water with the cornstarch and pour this cold mixture into the hot soy mixture. Bring the sauce back to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly with a spoon.
Watch it thicken before your very eyes, until it coats the back of a spoon. Stir in the garlic and ginger. Do not add salt � the soy is high in sodium. If you use low-salt soy, then you can salt it to taste. Use 2 ounces per serving of stir fry vegetables.
