Use a whisk or fork to mix the coconut aminos and corn starch. Mix it in your measuring cup to save washing a bowl.

Pour the liquid into a small pot and heat on medium for 1 minute, stirring constantly. The cornstarch will sink to the bottom. To be sure that it incorporates evenly keep stirring.

Stir in the oil and continue stirring.

Turn up the heat and stir until the sauce bubbles and thickens. Remove from the heat.

Add the sauce to your stir-fry when the stir fry items are almost fully cooked. Use 2-3 tablespoons per cup of veggies/proteins.

This sauce will remain fresh (refrigerated) for at least 10 days.
