Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger, minced or freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Combine and mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Let it sit for 1 hour before using it as a marinade.
  • Once your ingredients are mixed and you prefer a thicker sauce that you can use as glaze or dipping, let the mixture simmer over medium-low heat. Allow it to gently bubble for about 15-20 minutes or until thick to your liking. This simmering process not only melds the flavors but also reduces the sauce, resulting in a thicker consistency that clings beautifully to your dishes.
