Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the tamari, brown sugar, rice vinegar, gochujang, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth, creating a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Continue to cook the sauce while stirring for an additional 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly.
Transfer the sauce into a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to two weeks.
Use this gluten-free Korean BBQ sauce as a marinade, dipping sauce, or glaze for your favorite dishes.
