Instructions
- Place the cornflour and the water in a small saucepan. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil, and stir to combine.
- Heat the sauce until it starts to bubble, then turn the heat right down and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
- Alternatively, if you are using this sauce in a recipe like Special Chow Mein, then there’s no need to pre-cook the sauce. Simply mix up the ingredients in a jam jar, or similar, and then throw the sauce straight into the Special Chow Mein for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time to cook through and thicken up.
Notes
- My Homemade Chow Mein Sauce contains no additional sugar as I found it was unnecessary and made the sauce too sweet for my tastes. (There is already a small amount of sugar in the oyster sauce.) However, if you prefer a sweeter sauce, feel free to add 1 teaspoon of brown sugar to this sauce.
- Suitable for freezing.
