Ingredients

¼ cup Water
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
¼ cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
2 Large Garlic Cloves grated or minced
1 teaspoon Ginger Powder use fresh if you have it on hand (grated or minced)
Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes or to taste

Instructions

Add the water and cornstarch to a jar or to a medium bowl.
Use a fork or a small whisk to stir the mixture until the cornstarch dissolves.
Add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper (if using).
Stir the stir fry sauce vigorously until well combined.
If you are not using the stir fry sauce right away make sure to give it a good stir right before cooking. The cornstarch will settle at the bottom so get in there and stir well until it is incorporated again.

Notes

Use very little salt in recipes using this stir fry sauce. The soy sauce and hoisin sauce both contain a good amount of salt already. You can always add it in at the end if needed.
