Introduction

A yummy treat I got as a recipe from Epicure, this was a great stir fry sauce which was less thick than the stir fry sauces you buy in the store, but totally tasty! Although the rice wine vinegar adds some tang, there isn't any kick in this recipe. I suggest adding crushed red chilis or cayenne pepper to this recipe if you like spice. Or use Taste of Thai's Garlic Pepper sauce. Yum.
