Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in sesame oil and ground white pepper for added aroma and depth of flavor.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately over freshly made Egg Foo Yung or as a dipping sauce.
