I make a big batch of stir fry sauce, then keep half of it in the freezer and half in the refrigerator. Everyone likes it here.
2 T and 2 t chopped fresh garlic
2 T and 2 t chopped fresh ginger
3 T corn starch
1 t mustard powder
1/2 cup of chili sauce (I use ketchup)
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup of AC vinegar
1 and 1/2 cup honey
1 and 1/2 cup soy sauce
Bring to a boil to thicken slightly.
It has enough salt in it and vinegar in it, to keep in the fridge or freezer.

This is a traditional cooking sauce from Szechuan province. Szechuan cuisine is quite spicy, so you might want to reduce the quantity of the spicy items, i.e. chile pods, chili oil and garlic cloves.

Szechuan Cooking Sauce

Ingredients:
  • 10 dried red chile pods
  • 1 Tbs hot chili oil
  • 10 whole garlic cloves, peeled

  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 pinch MSG (optional)
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch
Instructions:

Boil the whole garlic cloves and the red chili pods in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. Drain the water and set it aside. Grind the chili pods and garlic to a paste. Heat the hot chili oil in a wok. Add the ginger, chopped garlic, chopped green chile and sesame seeds and stir-fry to infuse the oil. Add the celery and onion and stir-fry until the onionis translucent, but not browned. Add the chili pod and garlic paste and continue to stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste,soy sauce, vinegar and sugar and stir. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water drained from the boiled garlic and chili pod and add it to the wok. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat and simmer until it reaches the desired thickness.
