Ingredients

• 1 cup Soy sauce
• 1 cup Dark brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water (for cornstarch slurry)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup of water, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the sugar and combine the ingredients.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 2 teaspoons of water to create a cornstarch slurry.

Step 5

Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan to thicken the sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps forming.

Step 6

Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool before transferring it to a clean jar or container.

Step 8

Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Shake or stir before each use if separation occurs.
