Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
Peel and grate the fresh ginger to yield approximately 1 tablespoon.
Mince the garlic cloves until finely chopped.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir well to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, stir the cornstarch slurry one more time to ensure it’s well mixed, then slowly pour it into the saucepan while whisking continuously.
Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or using as desired.
