OK Folks you are going to want this Chinese 5 Spice Stir-Fry sauce on everything! It's delicious, addicting and did I mention fast and easy!
I love pairing this sauce with my Veggie Chow Mien. they are a match made in heaven, I'm telling yah!
If you're making this sauce to go with a Stir Fry then just mix everything in a bowl and add to the pan towards the end of cooking. Cook for a few minutes with your Stir Fry so the sauce thickens. Done!
To make sauce for later use, add all ingredients to a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer for a minute or two, until sauce thickens. Presto! Cool on counter then store in fridge.
I love the depth of flavour and richness from the Black Bean Garlic Sauce , and the five spice gives it that slight licorice, cinnamon flavour that is so familiar in some asian recipes. It's a winner?
This sauce is amazing with my Veggie Chow Mein. Give it a go.
I love this sauce, it's:
Umami good
Fast
Easy
Vegan
Easily gluten free
Addicting
Enjoy you GuysF! Happy Day?
