What's a simple cooking sauce that you like and how do you make it?

By "cooking sauce" I mean something like tikka masala not BBQ sauce. I'm trying yet again to get myself to make sauces instead of buying them.

    I found a recipe I really like for a brown stir fry sauce base.

    It's basically some chicken stock, shaoxing wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and salt.

    Throw it all in a mason jar and shake the shit out of it. I keep it in the fridge for an on hand sauce base.

    When I go to cook with it, I throw in minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, maybe some hoisin if I'm feeling it, and cook some protein and veggies, whatever is on hand, put it on some rice and finish with some roasted sesame seeds and green onions.

    I love it, the kids at least tolerate it.
