Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 1 cup Mirin
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan. Stir continuously to ensure the garlic doesn't stick and burn.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the dressing.
Continue to simmer the sauce until it reaches your desired thickness, usually about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil for added depth of flavor.
Allow the dressing to cool completely. Transfer it to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for easy storage.
Refrigerate the dressing and use it within 2 weeks. Shake well before each use to ensure consistency.
