Stir fry sauce recipe please

[FairyNormal]

I've looked at those too but they all contain sugar, yeast and wheat

 

Looks like dry stir fry for tomorrows dinner

How about getting some crunchy peanut butter (the healthy stuff that doesn't have sugar added - it's just peanuts and palm oil). Put it in a small pan with some coconut milk, heat up and mix together, add some chilli flakes, garlic, ginger, maybe a little splosh of fish sauce and some chinese 5-spice and hey presto - satay sauce! Just pour it over your stir fry at the last minute.

 

Might not be the most authentic version but it'll probably taste ok!

How about Miso - has that got dodgey stuff in it. There is this too...

I can't seem to find any. They all seem to contain wheat, yeast or sugar

 

Try Holland & Barrets.

I guess I've missed your deadline for doing this. However, just something for the future.

 

I cannot eat anything containing wheat, dairy, eggs, yeast, sugar (including fruit) mushrooms (or other fuhngi) vinegar or anything processed.

 

This is a hard one to crack. I had good think about this. For a more natural soy sauce, go for brands like Kikkomon. (Japanese) There is also a few other brands of soy sauces which have no additives. Which comes from China, and not Japan. I can't remember the names of it, but check it out in your local chinese supermarkets.

 

However, even the more natural soy sauces may be produced by some form of fermentation. (If I recall correctly.) So, I'm not sure if it does contain yeast. Or whether the process itself contains yeast, but not the final product. So you gotta becareful of this.

 

I thought of other alternatives like an oxo cube or something. Stir fries are flavoured by light sauces. Most people use either/or a combo of soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Saying that, there's nothing to say you can't use other equivalent condiments to give it a flavour. It just won't be as traditional. But if it tastes good, it doesn't matter.

 

If you don't want anything processed, then it is best to make your own 'stock' for cooking. Reduce it down when cooking, and use it as a sauce. I "think" you can freeze stocks. I guess flavouring it this way won't be as concentrated as it would compared to bottled sauces. Most processed sauces will contain a small bit of sugar. Unless you go for really spicy sauces like chilli sauces, curries or satay (actually, some may have sugar in this one too).

 

Either use stock cubes or powder. More natural brands like the Swiss Marigold bullions. Make a stock of this, then thicken the sauce with corn flour (I don't think this contains wheat),or agar agar (from seaweed), or gelatine ? Traditionally, it's corn flour that's used. However, if it does contain wheat, then you gotta find other thickeners really.

 

To make a stock from scratch, maybe boil some chicken thighs with celeries, carrots with just enough water to cover it. To make sure it's concentrated. This kind of stock will keep for a week in the fridge. You can use it to flavour your stir fries, or to use it as a soup base for a noodle soup dish.

 

By the way, stir fries don't have to have a sauce, it can be dry. Some plain home stir fries are just a few chopped garlic fried, and then the veg is added to it. There's lots of combination, but you just need to find the ingredients which you won't be allergic to, and throw it altogether.

 

Hope that helps with your diet.

Corn flour definitely contains wheat but you could use rice flour to thicken it. What about making some gravy using an OXO (if that's ok...?) and thickening it with rice flour, frying up your veg with ginger and garlic and then pouring the gravy over. I've done this before and it was really nice!

 

EDIT: I don't know where I got that idea from. Corn flour doesn't contain wheat at all does it? hmmm...

[okka north]

I realise this might sound obvious, but have you tried the internet? There are zillions of ideas on there.

You could try making one yourself. Are you allowed Honey?

becasue honey and soy sauce would probably work. that combo is used for a sort of dipping sauce, but other things are added such as vinegar, which you said you cannot eat. But you can try experimenting, its the best way and its more satisfying when you get it right.

goodluck

Fairynormal also said s/he can't eat soy sauce ...or sugar. Wouldn't that rule honey out?

 

Did you ever come up with anything Fairynormal?

By the way, your taste buds can only taste these flavours.

Sweet, sour, bitter, chilli, salt.

 

So take your pick in the choices that you wanna imitate. Sweet is ruled out. Bitter is not really nice. So you can either go for a salty, or chilli stir fry.

 

There may be some natural sugar in vegetables which you may not notice, but gives a nice flavouring to the food.

 

By the way, you should try a dry stir fry, maybe add a bit of pepper and salt for taste. Give this combo a try. Carrots, celery, pieces of chicken breast, onions, green peppers, red peppers and macademia nuts. Throw in the veg that takes longer to cook first, and then the easier ones to cook last. e.g. carrots, celery, green/red peppers, onions. Just a splash of water if you wish to give it a little bit of flavour, and sauce, but it doesn't need it. This combo will taste okay dry because you have a crunchy stir fry, (which is how it's supposed to be anyway), and it will taste a little sweet from the red peppers and the carrots. Natural vegetable taste.
