Ingredients
- minced garlic
- sliced ginger
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 5 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp oyster/hoisin sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- OPTIONAL sesaeme seed
Instructions
- In a saucepan, saute the ginger slice and garlic until become golden.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except water and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the water and turn the heat to medium. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. It becomes thicker as it cools down.
- Pick out the ginger slices and let the sauce cool down.
- OPTIONAL - Use a pestle and mortar to grind the sesame seed, then mix it with the sauce at the end.
Notes
- Watch out for sauce. As the sauce is boiling, you want it to still have that runny consistency. When the sauce cools down, it would become thicker than when it’s hot.
- Water will evaporate from the sauce while simmering. Recommend adding water to prevent too much evaporation and reduce the risk of burning the sauce.
