Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and sesame oil until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Transfer the sauce mixture into a small saucepan and place over medium heat.

Step 4

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the flavors meld together.

Step 5

Once the sauce begins to bubble, add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish.
