Instructions

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
Mix cornstarch with water and gradually stir into the sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes until thickened. Add optional sesame oil or red pepper flakes.
Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Use for stir-fry, glaze, or marinade.

Notes

Adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired. Thicken further by simmering longer, or thin with water for lighter sauce.
