Whisk together the cornstarch and water and set aside.

Add all other ingredients to a pot and bring to a low boil.

Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and let simmer over low heat until thick. Start with 1 tbsp cornstarch and add an additional 1/2 tbsp if the sauce isn't thickening properly.

It thickens more as it cools, so avoid adding too much too soon because you don't want it to get gloopy!

Whisk occasionally to prevent any clumps from forming.

Serve with salmon, tofu, chickpeas or your favorite veggies!
