Steps

1

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a skillet and heat until the sugar dissolves. When it starts to bubble, it's ready.
2

Even if you don't add cornstarch, the sauce will thicken more as it cools compared to when it's just finished.
3

If adding cornstarch before heating, mix it together with the other sauce ingredients.
4

If adding cornstarch after heating, dissolve it in water first, then add it gradually while stirring.
