Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger packed (if low on fresh ginger you can add some ginger powder, but I highly recommend fresh for maximum flavor)
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a small sauce pan combine soy sauce through vinegar and cook on medium heat till sugar dissolves.
  • Add ginger and stir.
  • Combine corn starch with only enough water to cover corn starch (I use a little dipping bowl or tiny ramekin for this) quickly stir with a fork and add to sauce mixture in pot.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer on low for about 1-3 minutes, continuously stirring until sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat, stir in sesame seeds and serve.

Notes
