Once you make this sauce, you’ll never go back to the store bought kind. I like it over rice. It’s strong, so you don’t need a lot. Mix equal parts of the sauce and 7-up to use as a marinade for grilled chicken or pork. Let meat marinate up to 4 hours before grilling.
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1/2 c. sugar (can be white, brown, or a mixture of both)
1/2 c. soy sauce (use low sodium)
1/4 c. cider vinegar
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Whisk dry ingredients in a small saucepan. Add wet ingredients. Bring to a boil then simmer on medium until thickened, about 4 minutes. Makes 1 cup.
