Ingredients

3/4 cup water divided
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2-3 tablespoon avocado oil
1 bulb garlic minced
3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the water with the cornstarch to make a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Add another tablespoon of avocado oil if needed, sizes of bulbs vary.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and the remaining water (minus 2 tablespoons for the slurry) to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
Use the sauce immediately as desired, or allow it to cool before transferring to a container to refrigerate.

Notes

Storage: Store the sauce in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Reheating: If the sauce thickens too much upon refrigeration, gently reheat it on the stove over low heat, adding a small amount of water if necessary to reach your preferred consistency.

Uses: This sauce is perfect for stir-fries, as a glaze for grilled meats, or as a dipping sauce for dumplings or even spring rolls.
