Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan. Using a whisk, give it a stir. Be sure to scrape the bottom so all of the corn starch and sugar aren't sticking. mix it well with your whisk.
On medium-high heat, bring your mixture to a low boil. Continue to boil until the sauce thickens. This happens kind of fast once it reaches a low boil or simmer. So stir it constantly.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
If you wish to use this as a marinade, add the juice of half a lemon. (Acid helps break down the fats in your meat.)
