Chinese White Sauce is very different from the mildly flavoured Continental version, although it also has a creamy consistency and a pleasant white colour.

This vibrant sauce is made of clear vegetable stock, thickened with cornflour and perked up with typical Oriental flavorings like ginger and garlic. Chinese sauce is way different from the basic white sauce.

Chinese white sauce is quick and easy to make. To make it even more time efficient, prepare the vegetable stock well in advance. The Chinese white sauce is basically mildly flavored, creamy sauce made using clear vegetable stock, thickened with cornflour and enhanced with alliums.

To make Chinese sauce, take cornflour in a small bowl and add vegetable stock to it and keep aside. Cornflour is used as a thickening agent, if you wish to freeze the Chinese sauce use tapioca or arrowroot flour. Further to proceed, heat oil in a non stick pan and add onion, ginger and garlic. Instead of fresh aromatics, you can use in powdered form, though you’ll want to add extra since dry ingredients are less potent than fresh ones. Cook and add corn-flour vegetable stock mixture. Also, add sugar to balance the taste and add salt. Cook for 5 minutes and Chinese white sauce is ready to use. Don't cook for too long as the starch may break down and the liquid will thin out again.

This luscious and tongue-tingling quick Chinese white sauce is used in the preparation of exciting vegetable preparations such as Stir Fried Broccoli, Baby Corn with Almonds, Broccoli and Paneer in Lemon Coriander Sauce etc.

  1. The Chinese white sauce is basically mildly flavored, creamy sauce made using clear vegetable stock, thickened with cornflour and enhanced with alliums. To thicken the clear vegetable stock, we would require a cornflour slurry. In a deep bowl take cornflour. Use tapioca or arrowroot flour if you're planning to freeze the Chinese white sauce.
  2. Add clear vegetable stock. Ensure it is cold and at room temperature. While using cornstarch, for each cup of liquid, you want to thicken, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. This is your slurry.

This is basically a simple and adaptable recipe that is like the one that I use. If you want to change the flavor profile, try a 3:1 mixture of ginger to garlic or garlic to ginger. Also, I make a basic Thai version with some lemongrass and fish sauce. And yes, the white sauce [ I use ginger to garlic 3:1] to make Chicken with mushrooms and vegtables. Moo Goo Gai Pan

Thanks for this recipe. I am looking forward to trying it. I am wondering whether it would work to make a traditional chicken almond ding . I just tried to make that dish from a different recipe but was disappointed because it turned out all brown and not like the beautiful green and white dish I remember having in good Chinese restaurants in my childhood.

Thank you for posting this. Being allergic to soy sauce and gluten products in general,I needed to find out about an alternative when it comes to Chinese food, because it seems Chinese restaurants are usually the only ones open during the stupid holidays.
