sauces for stir fry

[Morrisonker]

Can anyone give me any recipes for home made stir fry sauces?  I'm trying to cut out the processed gunk I eat but I'm addicted to chinese food and iI can only find ready made sauces and stuff.   I'll try anything other than sweet and sour, something of your own creation would be great!

Sherry, soy sauce, crushed clove of garlic, grated ginger, pinch of 5 spice, brown sugar and spoonful of cornflour. Mix it together and add to whatever you're stirfrying. Can't give exact measurements cos it changes everytime I do it!

Black Bean Sauce, serves 2:

Mix together 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp black beans (ready cooked in brine) rinsed, 2 tsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp dry sherry or Sake. Add to stir fry in the wok at the end of cooking, bring to boil & stir for a few seconds until the sauce has thickened.

Soy sauce and teriyaki sauce mixed with garlic and chilli.  Have it with chicken/turkey/beef (the only meat i like in stir fry!), and loads of peppers, babycorn, courgette, mushroom, beansprouts or whatever you want to put in it.
