What is Chinese Brown Sauce Made Of?

Hi Grace - thanks for linking to me. I checked out the other recipes, and will tell you that beef broth is definitely not in the typical Chinese brown sauce because Chinese restaurants don't usually have beef broth. What they might use is chicken broth or stock. Other than that, it's pretty much soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, starch, some sesame oil, some white pepper, and Chinese rice wine depending on the dish. Dark soy sauce might be added too if you want color. Do check out my recipe and see if you like it. :)

I just made my own version based off of Claypot's version, and it turned out really well!!

1/2 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2 tbps (rounded) flour

I just heated up the broth and soy sauce, added everything except for the flour, and then slowly added the flour bit by bit while whisking quickly and kept whisking till it thickened. Even my (picky) husband liked it!!! Now I'm gonna put it on my veggie and seafood stir-fry :D

All of these recipes sound so professional! I'm not sure if the $5 special uses anything exotic, though. Soy sauce, cornstarch, some kind of oil, and definitely garlic.

There was a place that I used to eat at on 7th Avenue and 30-something Street in NYC (they've since closed). Their brown sauce was the most addictive. I used to buy some on Friday nights to take home and eat on Saturday.

Their brown sauce probably had a Herculean amount of MSG in it. Whenever you ate there your heartbeat would race, you'd be agitated easily, and your energy level would increase. I ate there for a month straight one time and had to withdraw myself slowly.
