Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Vinegar (apple cider or white)
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and water. Whisk to dissolve the sugar.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, tomato paste, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, and honey. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice.
Allow the sauce to cool completely before using. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Use as a marinade, glaze, or dipping sauce for grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables. Enjoy!
