Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and honey. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well-blended.
Step 2
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Bring the marinade to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Step 4
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering marinade while whisking continuously. This will help thicken the marinade to your desired consistency.
Step 5
Allow the marinade to cook for another 1-2 minutes, whisking frequently, until it reaches a glossy and slightly thickened texture.
Step 6
Remove the marinade from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 7
Use the marinade immediately to season your choice of meat, tofu, or vegetables, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
