Instructions:
- Mix Ingredients: In a blender, combine soy sauce, water, chopped green onions, sugar, sesame seeds, cornstarch, minced garlic, and black pepper. Alternatively, blend all ingredients except green onions, and then stir in the chopped green onions for added color and texture.
- Marinate or Simmer: Use the sauce immediately as a marinade for TVP or tofu. Alternatively, for a thicker consistency, simmer the sauce over low heat in a small saucepan until it thickens. This simmered version can be used later for stir-fries or as a marinade.
- Storage: Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for at least a week.
- Tips: For a more substantial meal, simmer the sauce with partially rehydrated TVP chunks, adjusting the water content as needed. Tofu also works excellently with this sauce. Once the sauce coats and absorbs into your protein source of choice, spread the chunks on a baking sheet and broil for 5-10 minutes until slightly charred.
- Enjoy: Serve your beautifully glazed protein chunks with rice, noodles, or vegetables. Sprinkle with additional sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a finishing touch.
