Ingredients

• 1 cup Soy sauce
• 1 cup Mirin
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, honey, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the saucepan. Stir continuously to ensure the garlic doesn't stick and burn.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.

Step 5

Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the simmering sauce while stirring constantly. This will help thicken the dressing.

Step 6

Continue to simmer the sauce until it reaches your desired thickness, usually about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil for added depth of flavor.

Step 8

Allow the dressing to cool completely. Transfer it to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for easy storage.

Step 9

Refrigerate the dressing and use it within 2 weeks. Shake well before each use to ensure consistency.
