Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the honey and sugar fully dissolve, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue stirring to avoid lumps.
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.
Brush the sauce onto grilled meats during the last few minutes of cooking for a flavorful glaze, or serve it as a dipping sauce alongside your dish.
