Dark Sweet and Sour Sauce

I really prefer not to buy things when I can make them myself but somethings, like sweet and sour sauce are hard to find recipes for. So I thought I would share this one from Mollie Katzen.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Yields: 1/2 cup

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce
• 1  tablespoon cider vinegar
•  plus 1 tsp cider vinegar
• 1  tablespoon  light colored honey
•  plus 1 tsp light colored honey
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  sesame oil
• 1  teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1  teaspoon garlic, minced

Directions

1. Place cornstarch in a small saucepan.
2. Drizzle in the water and whisk until the cornstarch dissolves.
3. Whisk in the remaining ingredients, then place the pot over medium heat.
4. Heat to the boiling point, whisking constantly. Just before the sauce boils, turn the heat down to a simmer, and keep whisking 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly thickened and very smooth.
5. Serve hot or warm over vegetables or other savory foods.
