Making Oyster Sauce

Jngredients: 2 cups of fresh oyster meat 3 cups of water 1 cup of bottled clam juice 1 teaspoon of salt 1 clove garlic 1 green onion, white portion only 1 slice of fresh ginger, 1/8-inch thick 1/4 cup of soy sauce 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 2 teaspoons cornstarch (corn flour) 3 tablespoons water Directions: Prepare meat and vegetables: Wash and drain the oyster meat, and peel and crush the ginger. In a saucepan, bring the oyster meat, water, clam juice, salt, garlic, green onion and ginger to a boil on medium-high heat. Adjust the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix together the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and 3 tablespoons of water. After 30 minutes, remove the lid from the saucepan and gradually add the cornstarch/sugar/soy mixture, stirring as you do so. Simmer for about another 10 minutes, stirring periodically. Set a strainer (sieve) over a large bowl and pour the oyster mixture through it, keeping the liquid and getting rid of the solids (this includes the cooked oysters). Refrigerate in a tightly sealed jar.
