Ingredients
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the honey and sugar fully dissolve, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 4
Gradually stir the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan and continue stirring to avoid lumps.
Step 5
Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.
Step 7
Brush the sauce onto grilled meats during the last few minutes of cooking for a flavorful glaze, or serve it as a dipping sauce alongside your dish.
