Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and the sugar has dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Continue simmering the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature if using as a marinade.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir before use.
