Chow Sauce

Classic chow sauce is a simple, versatile stir-fry base made by combining soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, chicken stock, and a touch of sugar, then thickening it lightly with a cornstarch slurry. Smooth and glossy, it delivers a balanced savory depth with subtle sweetness, coating ingredients evenly as it cooks. Designed as a foundation, it can be easily adapted with additional flavors—making it perfect for beef, chicken, or vegetable stir-fries, where it brings a clean, well-rounded finish to every bite.
