Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved to prevent clumps.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
Pour in the soy sauce mixture and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Toss the sauce with your favorite stir-fried vegetables, protein, or noodles for a flavorful meal.
