1. Preheat the broiler.

2. Add the fish stock (or clam juice, or water), soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Add the cornstarch/water mixture and stir over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
Tomato Sauce (makes 1.5 cups): 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
