Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the 1 cup of water, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Once thickened, sprinkle in the black pepper and stir to incorporate.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Transfer the sauce to a small bowl or ramekin and serve alongside freshly cooked lumpia.
