Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger
  • 1 & 1/2 cups Soy sauce
  • 1 & 3/4 cups Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly cracked Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon White Sesame seeds optional
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 4 tablespoons Corn starch

Instructions
 

  • Use your grater to grind 2 tablespoons of garlic. Then, use a grater to grind 1 tablespoon of ginger.
  • Heat in a medium pot tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high. Add in garlic, ginger and let them cook until fragrant, but do not burn.
  • Pour in the soy sauce, sugar, brown sugar and black pepper let them cook until it’s boiling. Reduce the heat to very low and simmering for 10-15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of water and 4 tablespoons corn starch. (It is hard to stir the corn starch because it’s very thick. I suggest to add 2 tablespoons first and stir them well. After that, add the other 2 tablespoons and mix them well).
  • Once your slurry is ready slowly add it into the sauce and keep whisking the sauce for a minute and wait until it’s boiling again. Then, simmering for 5 minutes. Whisk frequently, but also let it thicken.
  • Lastly, add sesame seeds (this is optional) and stir them well.
