Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 15 g cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the low-sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water in a small saucepan while cold until the honey is fully integrated.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and 1 tbsp cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  4. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking constantly.
  5. Continue to simmer for 60 seconds until the sauce transforms into a velvety, glossy glaze that coats the back of a spoon.
