This turned out great. I added a dash of ground ginger as suggested by others. Next time will try with some garlic and red pepper flakes as we would prefer more flavor -- agreed it was a little on the bland side for us. Once on the plate, my husband and I added some thai chili sauce/paste to our dishes to customize the heat level. I'll definitely use this one again. We had it with shrimp and veggies over Trader Joe's microwaveable brown rice. Very easy. Thank you!

This is my standby stir-fry sauce ever since I first found the recipe over a year ago. Thank you to Lennie and Heather for such a great tasting, simple recipe. I always can make a last minute meal with this recipe and some frozen veggies & chicken or whatever leftovers need disguising. Perfect! (I do spice it up with some crushed red pepper if the kids are away.)

Thank you Lennie! This was a good base to start off: I used brown sugar, and Cider vinegar instead...also added ginger and garlic salt. Recommend using broth instead of water for the added flavor. Might try adding melted peanut butter next time too. Yummy, and happy to have a recipe that I can regularly use instead of buying. Will make again!!
