This tangy sweet and sour glaze is perfect for adding a burst of flavor to your favorite dishes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water until fully dissolved.
Dissolving the cornstarch in cold water prevents lumps in the sauce.
Combine the water, vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a saucepan.
Stir the ingredients well to ensure the sugar starts dissolving.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom.
Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
Add the cornstarch mixture gradually to control the thickness of the sauce.
Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat once thickened to avoid overcooking.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dishes or use it as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for added flavor and presentation.
