- Combine white pepper, sugar, salt, broth concentrate, water, and cornstarch in a bowl. Set aside.
- Drizzle oil around the sides of the stir-fry pan; tilt the pan to distribute evenly. Heat oil in a stir-fry pan on MED until oil faintly smokes. (If oil smokes too much, the pan is too hot.) Add garlic; cook for 30 sec (do not brown). Add sauce mixture. Bring to boil, stirring.
