Ingredients
- 12 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ cup minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup rice vinegar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups water (1 cup for reduction, 1 cup for cornstarch slurry)
- 1 bunch green onions (chopped ¼ inch)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, sauté minced garlic, minced ginger, crushed red pepper, and sesame oil over medium heat until the garlic is tender, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and 1 cup of water to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce by half, allowing the flavors to meld and concentrate.
- In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with the remaining 1 cup of water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the simmering sauce in the pan. Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, which should take 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Stir in the freshly chopped green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!
