Spicy Ginger Stir Fry Sauce

Hello faithful followers! I hope you are having a wonderful day and have cooked something yummy for yourself!  Last night I wanted to make something quick, easy, and tasty.  Beef stir-fry is a favorite at the Van Sloten house and this is my new favorite sauce.  Its sweet and spicy with a taste of ginger.    It is my adaptation of Argo Cornstarch's stir fry sauce recipe.  By the time I was done tweaking.. I believe it to now be my recipe as it is very different from the original.  But thanks so much to Argo for the inspiration!

Ingredients
1 T cornstarch
6 T brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup soy sauce ( I use Kikkoman reduced sodium)
2 T dry red wine
1 T sesame oil
2 T white wine vinegar
3 teaspoons powdered ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt

Stir together the first three ingredients in a saucepan.  Then add all the other ingredients.  Cook over medium heat until mixture boils or reaches a thick consistency.  Makes 1 and 1/4 cups sauce.  Store covered in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
