Honey Garlic Sauce

Cooking in Cowboy Boots
This is one of those sauces that quietly steals the show. Sweet, garlicky, and glossy — the kind you start making “for one recipe” and then find yourself spooning over everything. It technically keeps for two weeks… but let’s be honest, it won’t make it past a couple of days.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Course Sauces

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
  • ¼ Cup Honey
  • Cup Brown Sugar
  • 8-10 Garlic Cloves minced Measure with your heart!
  • 2 Tsp Sweet Rice Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Corn Starch

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, add the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, and rice vinegar. Whisk until everything is well combined and smelling very promising.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the water and cornstarch until smooth and fully dissolved. Pour this mixture into the saucepan and whisk again.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisking constantly, bring the sauce to a gentle boil.
  • Once boiling, lower the heat slightly and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, whisking often, until thickened and glossy.
  • Remove from the heat and taste. Need more garlic? Add it. Want it a touch sweeter? Drizzle in a little more honey. This sauce is forgiving.
  • Transfer to a jar or serving bowl and let cool slightly — or use right away if you’re impatient (no judgment here).

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks — though realistically, it won’t last that long.
  • One serving = 2 tablespoons (but who’s counting?)
