Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable/chicken broth - I used 1/2 a Rapunzel No Salt Added Vegetable Bouillon Cube dissolved in 1 cup water- 1 teaspoon honey- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce- 1 tablespoon thai fish sauce (or another tablespoon of soy sauce if you don't have it)- 1 tablespoon natural unseasoned rice vinegar- 1 tablespoon corn starch- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger- red pepper flakes to taste (I just do a couple grinds and it has a little kick!)
Directions
The nutritional info for this recipe is just for the sauce, so you put it over whatever you like. First, prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients in a cup or small bowl. Then begin sauteeing your veggies (and meat if you want) in a teaspoon of oil per serving. I use peanut oil for this, to stick with the "Asian" flavor, but any kind of oil you like for sauteeing should be fine. Once the veggies (and/or meat) are almost done, pour the sauce over them. Stir as it comes to a simmer, and simmer for a minute or two until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. Remove from heat. Spoon over brown rice (I use 1/4 cup dry per person - 150 calories each) and enjoy!

Serving Size: Makes enough sauce for 2-3 servings, depending how saucy you like your food! Nutrition calculated based on 2 servings.
