This soy-based sauce is delightfully sweet and garlicky.

1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup mirin or other sweet rice cooking wine
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried red pepper (preferably Korean gochugaru, see notes)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup finely sliced scallions, for garnish (optional)

Heat soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Combine corn starch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and whisk into sauce. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve with Korean Fried Chicken, garnishing with scallions, if desired.
