Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and forms a slurry.
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 1-2 minutes. It should have a glossy appearance and coat the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using it in your favorite stir fry dish.
Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
