Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey or brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey or brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar or honey dissolves completely.
Step 2
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth slurry. This will help thicken the sauce.
Step 4
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the main sauce mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Heat the sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Do not let it boil.
Step 6
Remove from heat and use immediately in your stir-fry, or let it cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
