Looking for Homemade Marinades and Sauces
I haven't bought any stir-fry or marinades for ages and don't intend to... as I am trying to cook from sratch as much as possible but the only one I have that I can make from scratch is a soy/garlic/sweet stir-fry sauce which I double as a marinade. To be honest, I'm rather tired of using the same one each time I cook marinated steak or stir-fries.
When I see Teriaki sauce and stir fry sauces at the supermarket I often wonder if I could duplicate them at home... but the ingredients are often quite obscure as some of them use artificial flavouring to achieve the taste.
I would appreciate any tried and true recipes any of you may have to achieve these sauces... Please don't use brand names of ingredients as I live in Australia and while we can get these ingredients, it helps if you say what the ingredient is rather than the brand name.
Cheers

"Don't-Tell-The-Cardiologist" Chocolate Truffle Pie
NOTE: Margarine does not work in this recipe. I tried it and it was a disaster.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Crust Ingredients
Directions
Combine all ingredients and firmly press onto bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Set the pan on a cookie sheet and bake 15-18 minutes until lightly browned.
Filling Ingredients
Directions
Put 2 cups heavy cream into a heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Place the chocolate in a small electric mixer bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Stir gently until chocolate is melted, then beat at low speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour into prepared crust and refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.
Caramel Sauce Ingredients
Directions
In a medium saucepan combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, syrup and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring until butter melts and mixture is uniform. Continue to heat, stirring occasionally until mixture comes to a full boil. Let cool 5 minutes then stir in the cream, blending well. Serve immediately. If not serving immediately, refrigerate and reheat before serving in saucepan or microwave.
Garnish
Just before serving, whip till soft peaks form.
Serving Directions
Release sides of springform pan and cut into 16 or more wedges. Portion warm sauce onto serving plates and top with thin wedges of pie, garnished with whipped cream. Or serve garnished pie and pass the sauce for the side.
