- Ground Ginger– 2 teaspoons.
- Soy Sauce– 1 tablespoon. Feel free to use low sodium soy sauce .
- Chicken Broth- 1 cup. Feel free to use a reduced-sodium chicken brothor vegan broth such a one of these instead.
- Cornstarch– 1 teaspoon. Additional as needed.
- Garlic- 4 cloves minced. That is about four teaspoons. If you really enjoy your garlic feel free to add additional as desired.
- Oil- 1 ½ tablespoons. Peanut oil or olive oil are good choices.

- Next, in a small mixing bowl or medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ground ginger, soy sauce, broth, and cornstarch. Set this bowl aside.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant (should not be browning). This is about 45 seconds to one minute.
