Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, brown sugar, and water until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Simmer Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan. Place it over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
  3. Use Sauce Immediately: Remove the pan from heat and use the sauce immediately by adding it to your favorite stir-fried vegetables, noodles, meats, or seafood for enhanced flavor.
  4. Store Properly: If you have leftovers, allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for 3 to 5 days and stir well before using again.

Notes

  • Use approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sauce per pan of stir fry, which typically serves 3 to 4 people.
  • This sauce can be customized by adjusting the amount of brown sugar for more or less sweetness.
  • Reheat gently before serving to maintain the sauce’s texture and flavor.
  • The sauce freezes well for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before use.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the light soy sauce and oyster sauce with gluten-free alternatives.
