Ingredients
Scale
Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cup
Sesame Oil
- 2 tablespoons
Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
Ginger
- 1 tablespoon, grated
Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons
Brown Sugar
- 1 tablespoon
Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out all your ingredients to ensure a smooth and efficient cooking process. This will save time and help you focus on creating the perfect sauce.
- Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well blended.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your sauce a taste and adjust the flavors as needed. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more brown sugar. For more acidity, a splash more of rice vinegar will do the trick.
- Store for Later Use: If you’re not using the sauce immediately, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It can last for up to a week, making it a great make-ahead option!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and ginger always provide a better flavor than dried or powdered versions.
- Customize Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, consider adding a cornstarch slurry to achieve the desired texture.
- Balance Flavors: Always taste your sauce as you go, ensuring a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and acidic notes.
- Make in Batches: Double the recipe so you have extra sauce on hand for quick meals throughout the week.
- Try Different Oils: Experiment with different oils like olive or avocado for a unique flavor profile.
