5 tbs. corn starch
Pinch salt
6 tbs. water
1/2 tsp. minced ginger
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh garlic
1/2 - 1 tsp. chili oil, to taste

8 tbs. chicken broth
1 tbs. dark soy sauce

1 tsp. corn starch
1 tsp. sake
1/2 tsp. oyster sauce

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until well blended. Set aside.
