Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine soy sauce, 0.5 cup of water, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until the honey is fully dissolved.

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 more minutes for the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before transferring it to a jar or serving directly.
