Lemon Ginger Stir-Fry Sauce
Lorie KolesaShare
Stir-fry sauce is the unsung hero of busy weeknights—quick, versatile, and capable of turning any combination of ingredients into a meal that feels planned (even if it wasn’t). This Lemon Ginger Stir-Fry Sauce is completely vegan, and it’s one of those recipes I keep coming back to because it’s so adaptable. With the zing of Lemon Olive Oil, the sweet tang of Honey Ginger White Balsamic, and just enough ginger to make it interesting, it’s perfect for any protein or veggie combo. Whether you’re vegan like me or cooking for a mixed crowd, this sauce can handle it all.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Lemon Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Honey Ginger White Balsamic
- 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 tsp agave syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
