This is the craveable sauce recipe that turns simple cabbage into a viral sensation. Eleanor and Richard share this flavor memory from their travels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. In a separate very small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. This is your slurry.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat.
  4. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  5. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce.
  6. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This usually takes about one minute.
  7. Remove from heat immediately. Use this sauce over your stir-fried cabbage.

Notes

  • This sauce works best when made fresh right before using it in your stir-fry.
  • Taste the sauce before adding the slurry; adjust sugar or vinegar to your preference.
  • If you like heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
