Ingredients

2 Tablespoons rice wine or sake
1/4 teaspoon black vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine, black vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
2
Pour the sauce mixture into a small saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently with a whisk or spoon to prevent sticking.
4
