Ingredients

Plums

Brown sugar
1/2 cup
Rice vinegar
1/4 cup
Soy sauce
1/4 cup
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Ginger
1 tablespoon, grated

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the plums are soft and the flavors meld together.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
  5. Stir the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan, mixing well to combine, and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the plum sauce to cool before serving.
  7. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
