Provided by mrivara

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup good-tasting stock (vegetarian or chicken stock)
2 tablespoons fish sauce (or substitute 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce)
1 tablespoon lime juice
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon liquid honey (or substitute brown sugar), plus more to taste
2 teaspoon corn starch dissolved in 4 tblespoon water
1 red chili, minced, or 1 teaspoon chili sauce, or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoon rice wine for cooking

Steps:

Place all ingredients, except garlic and cornstarch in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Now add the minced garlic and cornstarch (dissolved in water). Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Do a taste test. You're looking for a balance of salty (fish sauce), spicy (garlic and chili), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). Adjust these flavors to suit your taste. Add a little veggie oil to wok, add carrots, add some of the wine. Add all veggies and 1/3 of sauce. Add remaining sauce and tofu.
