Honey Garlic Ginger Stir-Fry is now officially in my permanent dinner rotation. Stir fry is one of my favorite ways to keep my eating on track. It is so easy to get your meat and veggies when you load up with stir-fry.

Honey Garlic Ginger Stir-Fry

This stir fry sauce is the kind you want on standby. It is savory, sticky, and full of punchy garlic and ginger flavor. It thickens up fast and coats anything you throw in the pan. Perfect for quick weeknight meals when you want something homemade but low effort.

Use it on chicken, beef, shrimp, or just a pan full of veggies. You’ll get that classic takeout-style gloss and flavor without needing a dozen bottled sauces. The balance of sweet, salty, and umami makes it a go-to for any stir fry setup.

It comes together in a couple minutes and holds well in the fridge too. Make extra.

This is very similar to my Spicy Chili Garlic Stir-Fry Sauce, but packs more of a gingery kick than that recipe. Equally easy to throw together, though!
