Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic 4 cloves
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
¼ cup cold water + 1 tablespoon cornstarch slurry

Instructions

Mix the sauce. Combine soy sauce, honey, water, ginger, garlic and sesame seeds in a large saucepan. Whisk together and heat until honey has full incorporated into the sauce.
Let it thicken. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with some cold water until it dissolves. Stir the slurry into the saucepan and let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes to allow the cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
It won't be completely thickened while it's hot, but it should coat the back of a spoon.
Store the sauce. Remove from heat and transfer the sauce to a mason jar or other air-tight container. Use the sauce immediately or place it in the fridge until it cools. Store it in the fridge until for up to a week.
