What makes this sauce sweet and tangy
I love Chinese food, but I don’t love all the sugar in a typical stir fry recipe.
This sauce is similar to a sweet teriyaki-style sauce, but made with erythritol sweetener.
I use granulated brown erythritol (Swerve) sweetener, sesame oil and red pepper flakes to make this recipe awesome. Also, try our keto sweet chili sauce!

If storing this sauce for later, add xanthin gum right before cooking, as it is used as the thickening agent.
How do I make thick stir fry sauce?
To thicken the sauce, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum to the recipe.
How do I thin the sauce?
If you prefer a thin sauce, omit the xanthan gum from this recipe.
Once you’ve added too much xanthan gum, you really won’t be able to thin it back out again.
How do I make this gluten free?
Before buying chicken broth, check the label if you are sensitive to gluten.
There are several brands, like Swanson, Kirkland and Imagine Organic, that have gluten-free options available.
Recommended substitutions:
Swap chicken broth for beef or veggie broth
Swap red pepper flakes for no-sugar sweet chili sauce or a dab of sriracha.
How to cook with stir fry sauce:
I like to add my stir-fry sauce to the wok once my meat and veggies are almost fully cooked, but you can really add it in any time while cooking.
I typically use this sauce for:
Chinese fried cauliflower rice–
fry cauliflower rice in olive oil, until tender. Add a bit of stir fry sauce until fully cooked.
Chicken/beef/shrimp teriyaki stir fry or sesame chicken–
Fry chicken in a wok, until mostly cooked. Add in veggies, such as broccoli and green beans (keto friendly). Finally add in the stir fry sauce, stir for a few more minutes, then serve!
Top with (optional) sesame seeds.
