Easy Brown Sauce - Revised

Easy Brown Sauce recipe - Revised

Ingredients

1          cup beef broth (I like to use Better than Bullion brand)

¼         cup Mirin sauce

¼         cup dark (mushroom flavored) soy sauce

2          tablespoons sesame oil

1          tablespoon minced garlic

1          tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1          teaspoon garlic/chili paste like Sambal Oelek or perhaps Sriracha

1/4       teaspoon white pepper

2          tablespoon water

3          tablespoon corn starch

Combine first 8 ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil

In a separate container, combine the water and cornstarch and mix into a slurry.

Lower heat  and stir in slurry mixture to thicken.  I usually keep this on the back burner on warm/low while I cook the stir fry.

9/6/2017 - I've made a few modifications to the original recipe which I think improves the flavor. the cornstarch slurry has changed too to create a thicker sauce, but it sticks better to the stir-fry.

Note:  I absolutely LOVE garlic and ginger.  The amounts in this recipe are really just guidelines.

Note 2: Golden Mountain sauce adds a wonderful flavor and can be substituted for the dark mushroom soy sauce.  You can get it at your local Asian grocery store or Amazon.
