Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, and brown sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low to simmer.
  5. Mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, then whisk into the simmering sauce.
  6. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens to a glossy, coat-the-back-of-a-spoon consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving or storing in an airtight container.
