This is an excellent sauce. Her site has more recipes that are worth the trip there!
My secret weapon for mid week meals an All Purposes Chinese Stir Fry Sauce, a versatile base that makes a wonderfully glossy sauce for any stir fry, including stir fried noodles. Store it in the fridge in a jar for when you need it just make sure to leave sufficient headroom in the jar so you can give it a good shake before using. This makes 1½ cups of sauce which is enough for around 12 servings.

Recipe type: Noodles, Stir Fry
Cuisine: Asian, Chinese
Serves: 1½ cups
Ingredients
¼ cup light soy sauce (65 ml) (Note 1)
¼ cup all purpose soy sauce (65 ml) (I use Kikkoman all purpose) (Note 1)
½ cup oyster sauce (125 ml)
¼ cup Chinese wine (or sherry) (65 ml)
¼ cup cornstarch / cornflour (40g)
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 - 2 tsp ground white pepper (I sometimes use 1 tbsp, I like the spiciness!)
Instructions
1. Combine ingredients in a jar and shake to combine. Store in fridge and shake before use.
Amount to Use (Note 6):
1. Stir Fry: I use 3 tbsp Stir Fry Sauce + 6 tbsp water to make a stir frying for 2 people using around 5 cups of uncooked ingredients (proteins + vegetables).
2. Noodles: I use 3 tbsp of the Stir Fry sauce + 5 6 tbsp water to make a noodle stir fry for 2 people using around 7 cups of the combined stir fry uncooked (vegetables packed, proteins + noodles if using).
3. By weight (Noodles & Stir Fry): Around 3 tbsp Stir Fry Sauce per 1 lb / 500g of combined ingredients (proteins + vegetables + noodles if using) plus ⅓ cup water.
To Use:
1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in wok over high heat.
2. Add your choice of Base Flavourings fry for 10 seconds or so to infuse oil.
3. Add stir fry ingredients in order of time to cook (starting with ingredients that take longest to cook), leaving leafy greens, like the leaves of bok choy, until when you add the sauce (otherwise they will wilt and overcook).
4. Add noodles (if using), sauce and water, your choice of Additional Flavourings and any leafy greens.
5. Gently toss to combine and to let the sauce cook for around 1 minute. The sauce will become a thick, glossy sauce that coats your stir fry.
6. Serve immediately.

1. Garlic, minced or finely sliced
2. Ginger, minced or finely sliced
3. Fresh chillies, minced or finely sliced
Additional Flavouring Suggestions
