  • 3 tbsp Rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest

  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ginger, ground
  • 4 tsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve corn starch in water to create a slurry.
  2. Combine all ingredients, including corn starch slurry, in a small pot on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, then reduce to low for 3-5 more minutes until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat.
