Honey Garlic Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 cloves Garlic (minced finely)
• 0.25 cup Soy Sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar (unseasoned)
• 3 tablespoons Honey (raw or pure honey)
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (packed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes (adjust to desired heat)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (for thickening)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Seeds (optional, toasted for extra flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil (adds nutty aroma)

Instructions

1. Mince the Garlic

   Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board and mince them into a fine paste using a chef knife.

   Time: PT2M

2. Combine All Ingredients

   Transfer the minced garlic to a mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, brown sugar, black pepper, red chili flakes, cornstarch, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. Whisk until the brown sugar and cornstarch are fully dissolved.
