Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pomegranate juice
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Pomegranate seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Stir continuously to prevent lumps.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sesame oil for a rich, nutty flavor.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. If desired, garnish with pomegranate seeds for added texture and visual appeal.
Use immediately as a glaze, dipping sauce, or marinade. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
