10 Types of Amazing Stir Fry Sauces Must Be Preserved
These 10 Chinese stir fry sauces are the most popular and classic Chinese dishes. If you understand them, you can make them better than you can in a Chinese restaurant or takeaway. They’re healthier and low in fat. You can use these easy homemade stir fry sauces in your favorite stir fry recipes – chicken, beef, shrimp, or vegetable stir fry. I suggest you mix them in your pantries and freeze them for later use. It saves time and is convenient. In the refrigerator, they’ll keep for up to 1 week. Frozen, they’ll last up to 3 months.
