Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup regular soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 6 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, oil, garlic powder, grated ginger, and grated garlic over medium heat.
  2. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch.
  4. Pour the mixture into the saucepan and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
  5. Remove from the heat.
  6. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Spicy variation: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, sriracha, or a chopped fresh chili pepper to the sauce while cooking.
  • Alternative sweeteners: Feel free to use maple syrup or agave syrup for vegan. 
  • Other substitutes: Tamari or coconut aminos are good gluten-free substitutes for soy sauce. Arrowroot powder also works for the cornstarch.
