Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine water and cornstarch, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved and forms a slurry.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, chicken or vegetable broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and chili flakes (if using).
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once the sauce begins to simmer, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan.
Step 5
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, approximately 1-2 minutes. It should have a glossy appearance and coat the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using it in your favorite stir fry dish.
Step 7
Store any unused sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
