    Ingredients

    • perfecting my go-to stir-fry sauce. We try to have some stir-fried greens
    • (mustard, Chinese broccoli, kale, arugula, spinach) and a lean protein with
    • brown rice (or my favorite pure-white, no-whole-grain-here jasmine rice) once a
    • week. This is in no way authentic, but it is complex, crowd-pleasing and pantry-friendly.
    • Sarah’s oh-so-special sauce
    • enough
    • for one stir-fry that serves 4 hungry bambini or adults
    • 2 tablespoons tamari or
    • low-sodium soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
    • 2 tablespoons water
    • 1 tablespoon raw sugar or
    • brown sugar
    • ½ a lime, juiced
    • ½ tablespoon roasted red
    • chile paste
    • 2 cloves garlic, grated on
    • a microplane
    • 1 thumb-sized knob of
    • ginger, grated on microplane
    • ½ teaspoon cornstarch

    Directions

    James is currently

    experience one heck of a bout of separation anxiety. Poor little guy; Chris and

    I need to carry him constantly or he screams. He screams and wails and flails his

    arms and doesn’t breathe for 5 seconds. It’s a pretty rough scene, but soon he

    won’t want us to hold him at all, so I try to empathize while I do everything

    with one hand, like cooking and buttoning a shirt and putting on make-up — you

    get the picture; so dinner prep needs to be minimal and all done with babe on

    hip. Hence, stir-fries.

    I have been working on and

    (optional)

    Directions

    Combine all of the

    ingredients in a bowl, whisk to break down sugar and chile paste.

    Pour onto stir-fry

    ingredients once they are browned and fully cooked. Cook for 1 minute, until slightly

    thickened and glossy. Serve hot.
