How to Make Citrus Soy Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup soy sauce, ½ cup lime juice (or lemon juice), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 cloves garlic (minced or finely grated).
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup slightly thickens (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely before using. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste. The syrup will thicken further as it cools.
  4. Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
