This black pepper stir fry sauce was so good. If you love cracked pepper as much as I do, this sauce is for you.
I am a self-proclaimed condiment whore. If you are too, then you probably already have everything to make this sauce.
The best part of this sauce was the fresh cracked pepper. It has a nice warm feeling without being too spicy.
How do you crack peppercorns?
A great way is a mortar and pestle! They are cheap – I found mine at Tuesday Morning, but since their products rotate so much, you can find this one which is similar at Walmart.
This is what it will look like – I added a teaspoon of peppercorns to the mortar, and used 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper in the black pepper stir fry sauce.

Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients together.
- to make the stir fry - use 1.5 cups veggies of choice and three ounces of leftover protein (I used pork).

Stir fry’s are also a great way to use up any leftover protein or veggies at the end of the week. That plate above was 12 points on #teamgreen, and totally worth the points. I hope that everyone knows that they can spend that amount of points and not think “that’s too many points!”
I get that comment a lot – sometimes saying “there was no way I would spend that many points on a meal!” But then I see how some of them end up hoarding points all day, and then eating all their food from 6-10 p.m. Eat bigger meals and I promise you won’t be standing in front of your pantry at 9:00 p.m.
If you love stir fry, try my shrimp and green bean stir fry. Be sure to let me know if you try this. Until next time!
