Easy Stir Fry Sauce

Oh the stir-fry. The stir-fry holds a special place in my heart because it always reminds me of my first cooking experiments back in my college days. It's been a good five years since I made a stir-fry but on a recent trip to the east coast, two of my friends made delicious stir-fry's for me, and that got me thinking about pulling this dish out of memory lane. It's a simple dish, really. But the key to a delicious stir-fry is definitely the marinade. Last night I concocted this marinade using lime and Ginger. It was superb!

Check out the recipe after the jump...

Lime and Ginger Stir-Fry Marinade

1 Lime, juiced
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
1/2 Tablespoon honey
1 Teaspoon grated fresh Ginger
1 Garlic Clove, chopped
1 Shallot, chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
salt and pepper to taste

Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk. This marinade can be used as a traditional marinade or it can be added to meat, vegetables, tofu, etc while they are cooking. It is really versatile. Also, ingredient amounts can be adjusted to taste, which will give you a totally different flavor experience...Truly versatile recipe!

Mmmm...it would be fantastic with shrimp! The acid from the lime would compliment the shrimp very nicely!
