Ingredients
-
1/2 cold cup water
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch (you may reduce the cornstarch slightly for a thinner sauce)
-
4 tablespoons brown sugar (more or less if desired depending on how sweet you want it, start with 4 tablespoons)
-
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (increase if desired to 1 teaspoon)
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil (can use more)
-
1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar (optional can use more)
-
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (optional or adjust to heat level)
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk the water with cornstarch until blended and smooth.
- Add in all remaining ingredients (starting with 4 tablespoons brown sugar) and whisk until blended (if not using right away whisk again before using as the cornstarch settles to the bottom).
- After mixing sample the sauce and adjust/increase the brown sugar, ginger and garlic to taste if needed (please note this sauce will taste sweeter when cooked so do not add in too much more brown sugar).
- Add this sauce to hot cooked stir-fried beef, pork or chicken cubes or strips and cook stirring until bubbly and thickened.
