Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set it aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sesame oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring as the sauce begins to thicken, which should take about 2 minutes.
Season the sauce with ground black pepper and taste to adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired.
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
