Frequently asked questions
What can I use stir-fry sauce in?
The possibilities are truly endless! It’s wonderful for classic stir-fries, though you can also use it as a glaze for roasted veggies, a marinade for proteins like tofu or tempeh, or even as a quick sauce for noodle dishes, nourish bowls, or salads.
How can I make stir-fry sauce without gluten?
For a gluten free version, you can swap regular soy sauce for gluten free tamari or coconut aminos.
Can I use regular soy sauce?
We prefer low sodium soy sauce to balance the flavours, though you can use regular soy sauce if you’d like. It will be saltier than reduced sodium soy sauce or tamari, so we’d recommend starting with a touch less and adding more to taste.
Can I make it without soy sauce?
For a soy free sauce, coconut aminos are one option to try for a substitute. They offer a similar savoury flavour, are lower in sodium, and add a hint of natural sweetness. Just be sure to give the sauce a taste test, and add a pinch of salt if needed.
How can I make it more spicy?
You can add a pinch of chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce, such as sriracha, for extra heat!
What’s the difference between teriyaki and stir-fry blends?
Teriyaki sauce is typically a sweet, thick glaze made with soy sauce, sugar, and sometimes mirin, that offers a rich, caramelized finish. Sauce for stir-fries tends to be lighter and thinner, meant to coat veggies and proteins without being too sticky or overly sweet.
