Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 3
For a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Gradually whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring continuously until it thickens to your desired consistency.
