Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cups Cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and cold water until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly pour the flour mixture into the simmering broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue cooking and stirring the mixture over medium heat until the gravy starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the gravy begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and stir in the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed.
Cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the gravy from heat and transfer it to a serving dish or gravy boat. Serve warm and enjoy!
