The Ingredients for a Delicious Stir Fry Sauce Recipe
This simple stir fry sauce comes together super-quick with three delicious ingredients that you can get from your local grocery store. Making your own sauce is so much better than store-bought versions and a great way to add tons of flavor to your favorite stir fries.
- Dr. Will’s Natural Sweet Chilli Sauce: Sometimes, we need a quick fix to amp up the flavor of our meals without spending hours in the kitchen. This Sweet Chili Sauce does that for me in this recipe. It contains real food ingredients and uses dates and agave for sweetness. However, use any natural sweet chili sauce available where you live.
- Gluten-Free Tamari: Similar in flavor to soy sauce but a gluten-free alternative. You can use regular soy sauce, coconut aminos (soy-free), or a low-sodium soy sauce if preferred.
- Fresh Ginger: Adds so much zingy flavor to a stir fry. Not a fan of ginger? No problem. Use fresh garlic instead for a different yet delicious punch of flavor.

What are the Potential Health Benefits of Ginger?
For centuries, ginger has been used in herbal medicine1. Here are a few examples of why it continues to be valuable today.
1Ginger Supports Digestive Health
By improving the speed and ease food moves through the gastrointestinal tract, ginger may help relieve the discomfort of flatulence, bloating, and even indigestion2.
2Ginger May Help Lower Inflammation
Gingerol, one of the main bioactive compounds in ginger, is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties1.
3Ginger May Positively Influence Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a term for a group of conditions that raise the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. These conditions include high blood pressure, high blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides), high blood sugar, and excess body fat around the waist. Studies have shown ginger’s unique properties may be valuable in reducing blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels3. Ginger may even benefit weight loss due to increasing the calories you burn and making you feel fuller4,5. However, more research is needed.
