4-5 tablespoons cooking oil, divided

2 garlic cloves, minced
•
For the sauce
•
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (can also use gluten free tamari or coconut aminos for paleo)

3 tablespoons oyster flavored sauce (if allergic - leave out and use more soy sauce or hoisin sauce can be used but the flavor won't be quite the same since it's sweeter)

2 teaspoons of sesame oil
•
2 1/2 tablespoons corn starch

1/2 cup water (plus more as needed to thin out sauce)
