Flavor this Vegetable Stir Fry Recipe with a Homemade Sauce:

2-3 Tbsp. Honey
1/2 C Vegetable Oil
1/4 C Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce

Whisk together all ingredients until well blended. Pour it into your finished vegetable stir fry recipe and toss to coat. Serve warm.

Note: If you like your dressing sweeter, you can replace the honey with about 1/2 c white sugar. Because we make this so often, we use honey instead of the sugar to keep it a little more on the healthier side.

Vegetable Stir Fry Tips:

Cider vinegar can be used in place of the rice wine vinegar

If you have left over sauce, whisk it well or put it into a spill proof container and give it a good hard shake to blend it back up before eating.

Use about a Tbsp. of sesame oil to give this sauce a slightly nutty flavor

It's better to err on the side of caution when adding the soy sauce, or get low sodium soy sauce instead. Even a slight bit too much soy sauce can make this recipe too salty. Put in half, mix it up and give it a taste test before adding the rest. You may realize you don't need it.
