Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients, except garlic and cornstarch in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.

When sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium-low. Now add the minced garlic and cornstarch (dissolved in water). Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Do a taste test. You're looking for a balance of salty (fish sauce), spicy (garlic and chili), sour (lime), and sweet (sugar). Adjust these flavors to suit your taste.

Add a little veggie oil to wok, add carrots, add some of the wine.

Add all veggies and 1/3 of sauce.

Add remaining sauce and tofu.
