Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and ginger in a small pot over medium heat. Stir to combine.
- Once the mixture is homogeneous, whisk together the cornstarch in a small bowl with 3 tablespoons of water and add the slurry to the pot.
- Cook the sauce for about 5 minutes over medium heat, or until it has thickened.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This makes about 1 cup of sauce.
- Whisking the cornstarch with water prevents it from clumping together when added to your sauce. This will ensure your sauce thickens properly.
- You can replace the honey with brown sugar if you are not a fan of the light, floral flavor that comes with honey.
- I like to let my sauce thicken until it costs the back of a spoon. It is also important to note that your sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
- You can store your sauce in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat.
- As soon as the sauce has thickened you can add it to whatever dish you would like to use it in.
