Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup of water, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar and combine the ingredients.
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water to create a cornstarch slurry.
Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps forming.
Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before each use if separation occurs.
