Ingredients

  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon finely sliced green onions (optional)

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small bowl
  • Airtight glass jar

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients

In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve.

Step 2: Simmer the Sauce

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for 5–6 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.

Step 3: Prepare the Thickener

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until completely smooth.

Step 4: Thicken the Sauce

Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce while whisking constantly. Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, or until the sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon.

Step 5: Add Final Ingredients

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the sesame seeds and green onions, if using. For a hint of heat, mix in the chili flakes.

Step 6: Cool and Store

Allow the sauce to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a clean, airtight glass jar. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
