Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons oil
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 piece chicken broth cube (or ½ tablespoon if using powder)
Instructions
- Warm oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add flour and whisk until both oil and flour turn into a smooth paste, about a minute.
- Gradually add water while continuously stirring to make sure no lumps will form. Add broth cube, ground pepper, and soy sauce and bring to a simmer while stirring to avoid bottom from burning.
- Once it starts to thicken, turn off heat. It will continue to thicken while the sauce is hot. Transfer to a bowl or gravy boat and serve while warm.

Notes
- You may use 1 tablespoon butter instead of oil for added creaminess by adding it when it starts to boil.
