Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, and set it aside.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, add the sesame oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Add the honey, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring as the sauce begins to thicken, which should take about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Season the sauce with ground black pepper and taste to adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
