Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and honey. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Add the rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the mixture. Stir well to combine.
If you like a bit of heat, add the red pepper flakes and mix it in.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 teaspoons of water to create a cornstarch slurry.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the sauce mixture and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue to cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using.
Use the sauce immediately in your favorite stir fry, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
