Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir well to mix.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set it aside.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir continuously as the sauce begins to thicken, about 2–3 minutes.
If desired, stir in red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly before using.
Use immediately in your stir-fry, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
