Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha sauce, and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry into the sauce mixture while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook and stir the sauce for about 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.
Once cooled, transfer the sauce to a jar or container with a lid. Store the Asian BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Use this sauce as a marinade, glaze for meats, or a dipping sauce for grilled or roasted dishes.
