Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, molasses, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
  • Add the minced garlic, Chinese five spice powder, and black pepper to the bowl and stir until everything is well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken further as it cools, so it’s better to err on the side of slightly thin than too thick.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
