In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of cold water, stirring until completely smooth. Set aside.

Pour 1 cup of meat stock into a small saucepan or skillet.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the stock to a gentle simmer.
-
Stir in soy sauce and salt to taste, adjusting until the desired savory flavor and medium-brown color are achieved. Optional: Add a pinch of MSG for extra depth.
-
Give the cornstarch slurry a quick stir again, then slowly pour it into the simmering stock while whisking constantly.
-
Continue to cook and stir vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to a glossy, coat-the-back-of-a-spoon consistency.
-
Remove from heat and serve immediately over egg omelettes, egg foo yung, or chicken velvet.
