Step Five: Add sauce

I used a mixture of soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar and ginger.

Add sauce or spices and stir until finished cooking. For a basic stir-fry, you'll want about 3 tablespoons of sauce. Most of the liquid will cook off, leaving you with just the flavors. If you'll be serving your stir-fry over rice or other grains, you'll want about 1/3 cup of sauce, and may want to thicken it up with a bit of cornstarch or flour.
