What Do You Need To Make Flame Broiler Magic Sauce

Ingredients

Fresh Garlic

Garlic adds a spicy, nutty flavor that deepens the taste of your sauce.

You can substitute a half of a teaspoon of garlic powder if you don’t have fresh, but I wouldn’t recommend using garlic salt as it tends to overpower the sauce.

Fresh Ginger

Common throughout Asian cuisine, ginger gives your sauce a peppery kick.

Soy Sauce

Another Asian staple – soy sauce adds the right amount of umami and salty flavor.

I prefer Kikkoman, but feel free to use your favorite brand.

Mirin

A sweet Japanese wine that will give a distinctive taste to your Magic sauce.

Can’t find mirin? You can substitute dry sherry, but add a pinch of white sugar.

Brown Sugar

Though not as sweet as white sugar, it adds a rich caramel flavor.

Honey

Adds another layer to the sweetness and gives your sauce a shiny sheen.

Cornstarch

Used as a thickening agent. Be sure to mix it with cold water to avoid lumps.

If you plan on using your sauce as a marinade, skip the cornstarch.

Salt and Pepper

The final touch that brings all the flavors together.

But only a few sprinkles so you don’t over-season your sauce.

Equipment

• Cutting board
• Knife
• Medium saucepan
• Spoon or spatula
• Stovetop or other heat source

How To Make Flame Broiler Magic Sauce

This Flame Broiler Magic Sauce recipe is super easy to make and will be ready in just minutes.

Step One: First, peel and finely mince the fresh garlic and ginger.

Step Two: Then, add all the ingredients except the cornstarch and ¼ cup of cold water to a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

Step Three: Mix the cornstarch with the cold water and slowly pour it into the sauce while stirring.

The sauce will thicken with the cornstarch.

TIP: be sure to use really cold water to avoid getting lumps – the colder, the better.

Step Four: Simmer for another five minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If you want a thinner sauce, add a bit more water.

Step Five: Taste your sauce, adjust any of the ingredients, and season with salt and pepper.

Allow your sauce to cool before serving.
