Stir Fry Sauces ?

hiya i am starting to eat stir frys as i am on a diet which kind of sauce is very low in fat and calories that i can use for my stir frys ?
eg. soy for example ?
thanxs xx
Answer:
soy sauce is low in calories
also, witchesture or however you spell it
anything with a water base
Tesco's healthy living sweet and sour sauce.
Stay away from Soy Sauce it's nothing but salt, makes you bloat.
soy sauce is low in calories but full of salt so can cause bloating
try asda's sweet chilli sauce you get it nxt to the stir fry's and the shechuan ones ok too
I do a soy sauce, but I add in tahini ( ground up sesame seed paste you can buy just about anywhere!) Soo here's a recipie:
for about 3 cups sautee'd veggies in olive oil, I add in a mixure of 1tbs soy sauce,
1 1/2 tbs tahini
1tsp lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste put this together in a bowl and blend with a wisk then add it onto your veggies the last few minutes they are cooking. It is a great way to add some calcium to your veggies, and a little protien too!
Enjoy!p.s. there are lower sodium soy sauces!!
I prefer to keep my stir fry's simple. One tablespoon of light soy sauce, a few pinches of chinese 5 spice and a small amount of garlic finely chopped makes it taste great - just like from the take away. But with less rubbish!
