Ingredients

0.33 cup low sodium soy sauce
0.33 cup orange juice
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp garlic
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp cornstarch

Steps

In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, juice, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch with water until smooth to make a slurry.
Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan. Continue cooking, whisking frequently, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (about 2-3 minutes).
Taste and adjust sweetness or tanginess as needed (add a little more maple syrup for sweeter, or vinegar for more tang).
Let cool slightly, then enjoy as a glaze, marinade, or dipping sauce, or store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to a week.
