Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the saucepan and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors combine.
In a small bowl, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form.
Continue to simmer the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Use immediately as a glaze, marinade, or dipping sauce, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
