Notes

Use the strainer so the sauce comes out smooth.
Use fresh garlic and ginger for best infusing flavor.
Be sure to simmer in order to reduce the sauce.
Use Low Sodium soy sauce. Please note that if you use regular it will be more salty. You can add a little water to dilute to your taste.
You can use gluten free soy sauce or tamari if you choose.
(Adding cornstarch slurry will make this a glaze like sauce. 1:1 ratio of cornstarch in cold water mixed, then simmered in the sauce for several minutes)
