Ingredients

1/2 cup Low-sodium chicken broth or water

1 tablespoon Dry white wine

1 tablespoon Soy sauce

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 teaspoon Toasted sesame oil

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Cornstarch

2 tablespoons Minced scallions (white parts only)

Preparation

In a small bowl, whisk together the broth or water, wine, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, salt, and cornstarch, stirring constantly until the cornstarch dissolves. Heat a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat for 30 seconds. Add the scallions and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 1/2 minutes. Pour into a bowl.
