Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup whiskey
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Set aside to use as a thickening agent later.
Heat a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the whiskey and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to burn off while stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable broth, low-fat milk, light soy sauce, and honey. Mix well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the sauce and stir continuously to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Season with ground black pepper and taste the sauce, adjusting the sweetness or saltiness as desired.
Remove from heat once the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Serve warm over your favorite dish.
