Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and 1/2 cup of water until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture into a small saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
Step 4
Once the marinade begins to simmer in the saucepan, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Continue simmering for 2-3 minutes until the marinade reaches your preferred consistency.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat, and if desired, stir in sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Let the marinade cool completely before using. It can be used immediately as a marinade for proteins or vegetables, or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
