Chinese Brown Sauce

August 12, 2021 by Serena Leave a Comment

  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1 1/4 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (corn flour or potato starch)

Add the broth, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and cornstarch to a saucepan.

Mix evenly and make sure there are no lumps of cornstarch.

Bring it to a boil while stirring. Simmer until the sauce reaches the desired thickness.

Use this basic brown sauce as a base sauce for dishes such as beef and broccoli, chicken and broccoli, and other beef, pork, and chicken stir-fries.

  • Chicken Broth Version: Combine 1 cup chicken broth (or chicken stock), 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or potato starch) in a saucepan. Mix evenly and make sure there are no lumps. Bring to a boil and keep stirring during cooking. Simmer until the sauce reaches the thickness you like.
  • Add 1 grated garlic clove.
  • Add 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger.
  • Add chili sauce or chili oil if you’d like your brown sauce spicy.
