Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth until fully dissolved. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining vegetable broth, fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

Step 3

If a bit of heat is desired, stir in the red chili flakes.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves fully.

Step 5

Once simmering, slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while continuously stirring to prevent lumps.

Step 6

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and taste the sauce. Adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or honey for sweetness, if needed.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using it in your stir fry. Pour over your stir-fried ingredients in the final stage of cooking and toss to coat evenly.
