• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Once the mixture is simmering, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry, ensuring no lumps are formed.

Step 5

Continue to simmer and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the toasted sesame seeds.
