Ingredients
1/3
cup
soy sauce (dark soy sauce is great if you can find it unsweetened)
1
cup
water
3/4
cup
medjool or deglet noor dates (pitted and coarsely chopped)
1
inch
fresh ginger (chopped (about 1 of the root, peeled if desired))
2
cloves
garlic (chopped)
1
tablespoon
rice vinegar
1
tablespoons
cornstarch
1/4
cup
cold water
Instructions
Combine first 6 ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes.
Strain out date, garlic, and ginger pulp (reserve for a later use), and return the liquid back to the pan.
Mix cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl, then add to the saucepan, whisking to combine.
Heat over medium heat, stirring often until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
