It is the sauce that truly makes a stir-fry fantastic. Following is how I make my Thai Sauce.

Ingredients
15ml, 1 tablespoon Olive oil
60g, 1 white onion in chunks
5g, 1 crushed garlic clove
10ml, 2 teaspoon fish sauce
5ml, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
15ml, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
10ml, fresh lime juice & zest
fresh chilli or cayenne chilli
3g, a drizzle of honey
3g, a drizzle of sesame oil
5g, fresh coriander herb, chopped finely
Optional: grated fresh ginger, dried Kaffir leaves
Method
I suggest frying your chicken, meat or fish in coconut oil at high heat with the garlic and onion. Then removing your meat/chicken/fish from the frying pan leaving the onion and any sauce in the pan.
Now add the olive oil, both soy sauces, fish sauce, chilli and lime and bring to a gentle simmer. Add in vegetables that you want to soften for 2 to 3 minutes – e.g. mushrooms in the photo below release their juices into the sauce ad reduce in size but only add vegetables such as peppers, bean shoots and broccoli for 1 minute so as to keep a bite in them.
Add back in the meat/chicken or fish and bathe the pans contents in the sauce, flavouring all the food.
Finally drizzle the honey and sesame oil on top and stir briefly before serving up.
You can add some chopped fresh coriander or toasted seeds to the top of the served meal.
