Simple stir fry sauce

My girlfriend is a big fan of stir frys and slowly I am being converted to her way of thinking, after all they don't take much time to cook, are healthy quick and relatively easy, in fact most of the skill is making sure that the vegetables are the right sort of crunchy.

To try to make it a bit more complicated I decided I was going to create my own stir fry sauce. This is not particularly difficult or inventive, infact I basically looked at the ingredients which a couple of those in the supermarket used and went from there.


You will need
a lemon,
a lime,
White wine vinegar
Mirin
vegetable stock cube
ginger
chilli
black pepper
honey
soy sauce
worcester sauce or fish sauce

Finely dice some fresh chilli, peel the ginger and garlic chopping finely. Fry these in some olive oil for 2 or 3 minutes before turning the heat down and adding the juice if the lemon and lime along with a couple of tablespoons of white wine vinegar, a tablespoon of the mirin.

Crush the stock cube into the sauce and add a tablespoon of honey, a few drops of soy sauce and a couple of drops of the fish or Worcester sauce.

Sprinkle in some black pepper and leave this to simmer for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally, this should be enough time to chop up the veg for the stir fry.
