• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons honey

• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha sauce, and brown sugar.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients until the mixture is well combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Step 5

Stir in the cornstarch slurry into the sauce mixture while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.

Step 6

Continue to cook and stir the sauce for about 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool slightly. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.
