Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Mince the garlic cloves and grate the fresh ginger using a fine grater or microplane.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk together until fully blended.
Step 3
Dissolve the cornstarch in water in a separate small bowl to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional red pepper flakes to the soy sauce mixture.
Step 5
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce mixture and whisk well to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 7
Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
