Chinese Brown Sauce

🇨🇳 China

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Steps

  1. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth, with no lumps.
  2. Heat oil in a small pot over low heat and fry minced garlic for about 10 seconds until slightly browned.
  3. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir and let combine briefly.
  4. Stir the cornstarch mixture again, then pour into the pot. Simmer for about 1 minute until the sauce slightly thickens (it will thicken further as it cools).
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil.
  6. Serve over blanched vegetables such as broccoli, or store in an air-tight glass jar for later use.

Notes

Sauce thickens more as it cools. Can be stored in a sealed jar for future use.
