Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Large Pot
- Saucepan
- Grater
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-sodium tamari
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the tamari, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the sugar begins to dissolve.
- Separately, in a small bowl, combine the cold water with the cornstarch and whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously. Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 7-10 minutes until it thickens to your liking. Stir in sesame seeds if using, then remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It’s perfect for weekly meal prep.
- Freezing: You can freeze this sauce in ice cube trays for easy portioning later on. Just pop them out and store in a freezer bag.
- Pairing: This sauce pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, rice, or as a glaze for tofu.
- Adjusting Sweetness: Taste the sauce before removing it from the heat. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more brown sugar or honey.
- Thickening Options: If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of cornstarch slightly, but be cautious not to overdo it.
