Instructions

  • Measure and add ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and 2 teaspoons cornstarch to a ½‑pint to 1‑pint mason jar with a lid (or to a small bowl if you don't have a jar).
  • If using a jar: secure the lid and shake vigorously until the cornstarch is fully suspended and the sauce looks slightly cloudy. If using a bowl: whisk vigorously until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth and slightly cloudy.
  • Seal the container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake or whisk again before using if the cornstarch has settled.

Notes

Consider making a double batch of this sauce. It stores well in the fridge and can save time on busy weeknights.
If the sauce has been sitting in the fridge, give it a good shake or stir before each use to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed.
