I love stir fries – they are so quick, easy and awesome – but was getting a little bored of my standard issue sauce, which is tasty but was lacking some kind of stir fry X factor. This was an experiment that became one of those ‘hallelujah’ recipes!

Double the sauce recipe, divide it between two jars and BOOM your next stir fry night is even quicker and easier (and still as awesome! It will keep for around 10 days). Throw some pieces of marinated, fried tofu into the mix as you serve and you are good to go.
