Ingredients
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk together until the brown sugar has dissolved.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring frequently, for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer while stirring.
Step 5
Once the sauce starts simmering, add the cornstarch slurry. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. Use immediately in your favorite dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
