Ingredients

• 4 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 3 tbsp Water
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the mixture, stirring well to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce later.

Step 4

If you prefer your sauce with a hint of heat, stir in the chili flakes at this stage.

Step 5

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking.

Step 6

Once the sauce begins to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry gradually, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 7

Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using it in your stir fry recipe.

Step 9

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
