Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water (if not using beef broth)
  • 1 Edward & Sons Not Beef bouillon cube or or ¾ cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp and 1 teaspoon mushroom flavored oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar

Instructions

  • Quickly whisk the water or beef flavored broth together in a saucepan with the cornstarch until it dissolves.
  • Heat the pan to medium high heat, whisking to keep the cornstarch from clumping. Once warm add in the Not Beef broth cube if using. Whisk until the cube dissolves.
  • Stir in the mushroom oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar. Whisk to emulsify. Once it becomes bubbly and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove from heat and serve.
