Cooking Instructions
Cooking: 3 minutes
Notes:
The cornflour slurry is crucial for achieving that signature glossy, thickened consistency; ensure you mix it thoroughly with the water before adding it to the sauce to avoid any lumps.
Grate the garlic finely using a microplane or small grater to ensure it integrates seamlessly into the sauce, providing a consistent flavour without any overpowering chunks.
This recipe is perfect for batch cooking; keep a jar on hand in the refrigerator for a quick, flavourful addition to stir-fries, grilled meats, or noodles.
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, soy sauce, vinegar, and microplane-grated garlic.
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Thicken
Mix the cornflour and water separately to create a slurry, then stir it into the saucepan and continue to simmer until the sauce reaches a thickened, glossy consistency.
Finish
Remove from the heat once the sauce has reached the desired thickness and serve immediately over your dish of choice.
