Garlic and ginger are always a good call when it comes to Asian cuisine. Use this garlic sauce to spice up all sorts of creations. If you like your sauces extra thick, just whisk in some cornstarch.

I agree with other reviews that the sauce is watery. I whisked in a TBS of cornstarch mixed with 2 TSP of water at the end. I used this sauce on mixed vegetables. I cooked the vegetables in boiling water for 2.5 minutes then immersed them in ice water then added them to the garlic sauce with snow peas, red pepper, and baby corn. The dish was delicious. I used vegan oyster sauce in place of oyster sauce.

This recipe will smell right and taste pretty good, just like the sauce chinese restaurants use but...... The consistency is too liquidic. I suggest using about 3/4 of the suggested chicken broth at the most. If you use too little broth you can always add more, but if you go heavy you gotta a bigger problem.
