Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy sauce
- 1 cup Dark brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup of water, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar and combine the ingredients.
Step 3
Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water to create a cornstarch slurry.
Step 5
Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps forming.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool before transferring it to a clean jar or container.
Step 8
Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before each use if separation occurs.
