Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 TBS Honey
• 2 TBS Rice Vinegar
• 1 tsp Minced Garlic
• 1 tsp Fresh Ginger
• 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
• 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)
• 2 TBS Water
• 1 TBS Cornstarch

Instructions

• Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to a medium sauce pan. Heat over medium. 1/2 cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce , 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 2 TBS Honey, 2 TBS Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp Minced Garlic , 1 tsp Fresh Ginger, 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil, 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
• Let the mixture cook as it comes to a low boil, whisk together the water and cornstarch to make a slurry, and add it to the sauce. 2 TBS Water, 1 TBS Cornstarch
• Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for a couple minutes until thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon.
• Remove from the heat and let the sauce cool for about 10 minutes to use hot, or transfer to a container with a lid to store in the fridge.

Notes

• Use as a Marinade: This sauce works great as a marinade for chicken, beef, or salmon. Marinate the meat in an airtight container or bag for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Strain: If you want a smooth sauce you can strain the sauce to remove the bits of garlic and ginger.
• Double the Recipe: The sauce stores great, and if you double it, you’ll love having it on hand for easy weeknight dinners.
