Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free chicken broth or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the tamari, gluten-free broth, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

In a small separate bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Mix until smooth and free of lumps.

Step 3

Add the cornstarch slurry to the tamari mixture and whisk to incorporate thoroughly.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the sauce mixture. Continue whisking until all ingredients are combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent the sauce from sticking and to ensure even thickening.

Step 6

Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remember, it will thicken slightly more as it cools.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use immediately to toss in a stir fry, or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
