1. In a blender, combine the cleaned oysters and water. Blend until smooth. 2. Pour the oyster mixture into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. 3. Add soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic (if using). Continue to simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. 4. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in a tablespoon of water and stir into the simmering mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until thickened. 5. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids, pressing gently to extract maximum liquid. 6. Let the sauce cool completely before storing in a sterilized jar or bottle.
