Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Mince the garlic clove finely and set it aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the soy sauce, lemon juice, and sugar, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely into the mixture.
Add the ground black pepper and continue stirring to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce gently simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm drizzled over your favorite dishes, such as steamed vegetables, seared scallops, or stir-fried noodles. Enjoy!
