Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup soy sauce regular or low-sodium
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan, whisking well to ensure the honey and brown sugar dissolve completely.
  2. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature before using as a marinade or sauce.
  5. For thicker sauce (ideal for glazing or dipping), continue simmering for 2-3 additional minutes.
