Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 0.25 cup Hoisin Sauce (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or other hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine Tamari, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sriracha.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool. It will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the sauce to marinate meats, as a glaze, or as a dipping sauce for a variety of dishes.
