All three of these come from the long-defunct cafeteria Eden, which was located in downtown Philadelphia PA: STIR FRY SAUCES Each recipe makes 2 servings but can be doubled and can be made ahead and refrigerated. (I like the first one best.) BASIC STIR FRY SAUCE 1 1/ 2 tsp. sesame oil 1/ 2 tsp. minced garlic 1/ 2 tsp. minced ginger 1/ 2 cup chicken broth 1 Tbs. soy sauce 1 Tbs. brown sugar 1/ 8 tsp. Tabasco 1/ 2 tsp. salt 1/ 4 tsp. pepper 1 1/ 2 tsp. lemon or lime juice 1 1/ 2 tsp.cornstarch 1 Tbs. rice wine or sherry Heat the sesame oil in a small saucepan. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry 15-30 second over medium heat to bring out the flavor. Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Tabasco, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Bring just to a boil, stirring. Dissolve the cornstarch in the wine and whisk into the sauce. Heat until sauce thickens and reaches a full boil. Simmer for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside. GARLIC SESAME STIR FRY SAUCE 1/ 2 tsp. pepper 2 Tbs. soy sauce 3 Tbs. chicken broth 1 Tbs. sugar 2 1/ 4 tsp. lemon juice 1/ 3 cup sesame oil 2 1/ 4 tsp. minced garlic 1 tsp. cornstarch mixed with 1 1/ 2 tsp. water Combine the pepper, soy sauce, chicken broth, sugar and lemon juice. In a small saucepan heat the sesame oil. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute until soft but not browned. Add the soy sauce mixture and bring just to a boil. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and let boil 20 seconds. Remove from the heat. SZECHUAN STIR FRY SAUCE 1 1/ 2 tsp. sesame oil 1/ 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger 1/ 2 tsp. minced garlic 1/ 2 cup chicken broth 2 whole anise stars 1 1/ 2 tsp. red wine vinegar 1 Tbs. soy sauce 1/ 2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. hoisin sauce 1/8 tsp. Tabasco sauce 1/ 8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1/ 4 tsp. pepper 1/ 8 tsp. 5 spice powder 2 tsp. cornstarch dissolved in 1 Tbs. water Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the ginger and garlic and saute 1 minute until softened but not browned. In a bowl combine the remaining except for the cornstarch mixture. Add them to the saucepan andbring to a simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove star anise. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and let boil 1-2 minutes. Taste and add more Tabasco if desired.

(1) I use this for Walnut Chicken: 1 Tbsp Teriyaki sauce 1 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp sherry Dash Tabasco sauce 2 Tbsp cornstarch Just whisk everything together. (2) This one is good with chicken, carrots, zucchini and pea pods: 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup honey 2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp grated orange zest 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil, then remove from heat. Add zest and red pepper just before pouring over chicken in wok. (3) I use this for Cashew Chicken: 2 teaspoons rice wine or sweet white wine 1 egg white 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons soy sauce Dash each black pepper and sugar Optional: a little Tabasco or red pepper flakes Marinate chicken in sauce 10 minutes before stir-frying.
