Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  • Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  • Once the sauce simmers, gradually pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously.
  • Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring, until it thickens.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly; it will thicken further as it cools.
