Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
Instructions
- Start by placing your small saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Pour in the low sodium soy sauce, followed by 1/4 cup of water. Add the rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir all these together, ensuring they are well-blended.
- Bring the combination to a gentle simmer (about 2–3 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking at the bottom.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until dissolved.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously. Continue stirring for another 2–4 minutes as the sauce thickens.
- Finally, taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess as desired and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
