Step 1

Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a small sauce pan.

Step 3

Heat the sauce over low heat until the sugar begins to dissolve. This should take between 10 – 15 minutes. It’s alright if all the sugar doesn't completely dissolve, it will eventually dissolve over time.

Step 4

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, dissolve the cornstarch in ¼ cup of water and add to mixture. This will help to make the sauce a little thicker without changing the flavor very much.

Step 5

Allow to cool and transfer to a bottle so you can put it in the refrigerator. It’s best to all to cool overnight before use, but if you are in a hurry, you can use it to marinate right away. Works great on vegetables for soy meat products.
