Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup of water to the saucepan and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors combine.

In a small bowl, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Step 5
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while stirring constantly to ensure no lumps form.
Step 6
Continue to simmer the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly.
Step 8
