Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and minced garlic.
Stir the mixture continuously until the honey is fully dissolved, and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
Continue cooking and stirring for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken to your desired consistency.
Optional: Stir in sesame oil for an additional layer of flavor.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
