- Gather your ingredients: Measure out ¼ cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved completely. The mixture should appear glossy and inviting.
- Always taste your sauce before cooking. This is your chance to balance flavors. If you prefer it sweeter, add another sprinkle of sugar. For more tang, incorporate a bit more vinegar. Adjust to your liking!
- Use this sauce in your stir-frying process. Pour it into your hot skillet during the last few minutes of cooking, making sure to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Notes
Cooking stir fry is all about high heat and quick movements. Preheat your skillet, cook in batches, and time the addition of the sauce to ensure optimal flavor absorption.
