Ingredients
- 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup of water, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and toasted sesame oil. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
Step 3
Add the cornstarch slurry to the soy sauce mixture and whisk again until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat, or adjust according to your preference.
Step 5
To thicken the sauce, transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and place it over medium heat.
Step 6
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent any clumps from forming.
Step 7
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 8
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using it in your stir-fry dishes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
