The culinary equivalent of a simple white shirt, this sauce goes with just about any-thing. Start with the basics- soy sauce, rice wine, and an honest broth- and add a little garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, and you have yourself a sauce that truly deserves the name "all -purpose”.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Yield: About 1 3/4 cups
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
3 1/2 Tbsps. sugar
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. white pepper
2 Tbsps. cooking oil
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
2 Tbsps. corn-starch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
1 In a bowl, combine soy sauce, chicken broth, wine, sugar, sesame oil, and white pepper.
2. Place a pan over high heat until hot. Add the cooking oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the garlic and the ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
3. Add the mixture from step 1, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Add the corn starch solution and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens
