NOTES : This mixture is really great with chicken thighs, duck or pork. It also makes a nice counterpoint to broccoli. To use this sauce, first marinate 1 pound of cubed boneless chicken thigh or pork in the Universal Marinade and then stir fry, adding the vegetables of your choice. Finish with ½ to ¾ cup of this sauce. Makes 2½ cups.
