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)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir well to mix.
Step 2
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set it aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the soy sauce mixture into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir continuously as the sauce begins to thicken, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 6
If desired, stir in red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Step 7
Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly before using.
Step 8
Use immediately in your stir-fry, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
