09 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch

10 - 2 tablespoons cold water

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.

02 - Stir in the minced garlic and ginger until evenly distributed throughout the sauce mixture.

03 - In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.

01 -

Ready in ten minutes flat, faster than delivery can even reach your door
That perfect balance of salty, sweet, and savory that makes you want to lick the plate
Works on basically anything, chicken, tofu, vegetables, or straight from the spoon

02 -

The sauce will look way too thin until you heat it up, so do not panic and keep adding cornstarch like I did the first time
Cold water for the slurry is non negotiable, warm water turns cornstarch into an unusable gel immediately
This sauce thickens quickly once hot, so keep it moving in the pan or it will stick and burn

03 -

Low sodium soy sauce is essential because the oyster sauce already brings plenty of salt
If your sauce is too thick after adding the slurry, thin it with a splash of water or broth
