Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the cold water to create a slurry, then set aside.
Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the marinade starts to simmer, whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the marinade has thickened slightly.
Remove the marinade from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Place your chicken or steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the cooled marinade over it, ensuring the protein is well-coated.
Marinate the protein in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours for a deeper flavor.
Before cooking, remove the protein from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Cook your chicken or steak using your preferred method, such as grilling, pan-searing, or baking.
