    • @bellarose-au
      @bellarose-au Год назад +5

      I'm not sure if you're still wanting an answer to this question, but... freeze it. Really. Either use a plastic container or a zip lock bag (put the bag into a cup or glass with the top of the bag open over the rim and either spoon or pour any left over sauce in). You can do the same with any sauce, stock, soups... the list is long.
      Seal the zip lock almost all the way, and gently push the air out before closing completely. Just remember to write the contents onto the bag before you start filling it out you might forget what's in it.
      I prefer using zip lock bags and freezing them flat as they take up less room in my freezer and can stack on top of each other.
      I hope this helps you out. 💙🌹

      What you usually do is to make a slurry with water and cornstarch, and that is what you add after the sauce. If you need more thickening, you add more of that liquid. If you need less, you add more water.

      If it really bothers you that much, you could try turning the volume down. Surely that’s much less effort then taking the time to leave a comment. I went through the trouble of writing out the recipe for you. Hopefully in the future you can manage to read on your own.
      In a bowl add:
      1 tbsp of dark soy sauce,
      3 tbsp of light soy sauce,
      Mix together then add
      1 tbsp of oyster sauce,
      1 tsp of sugar,
      1 tsp of salt,
      1 tsp of chicken bullion
      And finally add a bit of boiling water to keep from molding. (I estimate about 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup just judging by the measuring device in the video. Try some experimentation to see which tastes the best)
      Mix everything well and it is ready for use. Just add to your stir fry and use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
      Enjoy.
