Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Continue cooking the sauce, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes until it reaches the desired thickness.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using.
Step 7
