Ingredients

  • ½ cup white vinegar
  • ¾ cup water
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup honey plus more if you want it sweeter
  • 1 tbs soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 4 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tbs water

Instructions

  • Combine vinegar, water, minced garlic, lime juice, honey, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a medium sized sauce pan.
    ½ cup white vinegar, ¾ cup water, 5 cloves garlic, ¼ cup lime juice, ¼ cup honey, 1 tbs soy sauce or coconut aminos, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon ginger
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Mix together the cornstarch and 1 tbs of water in a small bowl, then add it to the sauce pan with everything else. (4 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 tbs water)
    4 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 tbs water
  • Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally. You want the sauce to thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Once the mixture is done simmering remove from heat and allow to come to room temperature. It will thicken even more as it cools.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • The cornstarch slurry will thicken the sauce quite a bit but if you want it thicker simmer the sauce longer- try simmering for another 5-10 minutes. This will cook off even more liquid. Make sure to continue to stir occasionally and make sure it doesn’t burn.
  • Keep in mind the sauce will thicken even more as it cools.
  • After taste testing add more honey if you want it sweeter. 
  • Store leftover sauce in and air tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
