Beef or Chicken Stir Fry

Stir Fry Sauce

2 Tbls brown sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 Tbls sesame seeds
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tsp fresh garlic, minced
¼ tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbls rice vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup sherry (optional – I often use the liquid drained from canned mushrooms as a substitute)
1 ¼ cup beef or chicken stock

Combine all ingredients and add to stir-fried meat (beef, pork, chicken, shrimp, etc.) and vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, onions, celery, sugar snap pea pods, baby corn, water chestnuts, green beans, etc.). Bring to a boil to thicken. Serve over rice.

Note: This is enough sauce for about 1 pound of meat and 4-5 cups vegetables, approx. 4-6 servings.
