This sauce can be used as a wing sauce, a stir-fry sauce or a dipping sauce. It can be made in large batches and preserved in 4 ounce jars.
Ginger Stir Fry Sauce
1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup water
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 clove minced garlic
1 tablespoon zested lemon peel
2 TBLSP Lime juice
1 Tblsp Lemon
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Mix the arrowroot and brown sugar together in a medium size saucepan. Mix all of the other ingredients and whisk in to the sugar/arrowroot mixture in the saucepan. Bring to a simmer while whisking and simmer until the sauce thickens.
Variation: You can substitute orange peel for the lemon peel and orange juice for the lemon/lime juice in this recipe and you end up with a sauce that is very like the orange chicken you might order from a Chinese restaurant.
