- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.
Add the vegetable broth and brown sugar to the bowl. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. This will thicken the sauce.

Peel and grate the fresh ginger.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the sauce mixture.
Finally, stir in the cornstarch slurry, mixing well to combine all the ingredients.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more soy sauce for saltiness or brown sugar for sweetness if desired.
The sauce is now ready to be used in your stir fry. Add it to your vegetables and protein during the last few minutes of cooking, stirring well to coat everything evenly and allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
