1
Make the Base
In a saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
2
Add Flavorings
Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes, vinegar, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer for about 5 minutes.
3
Thicken the Sauce
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly add this slurry to the simmering sauce while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
4
Cool and Store
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool. Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
