HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

In a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, garlic, ginger, onion powder, soy sauce, honey, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Cook over medium high heat until it comes to a boil, whisking constantly.
In a small bowl combine cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup of water. Whisk them together and then slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce whisking constantly.
Continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until sauce thickens to a point where it will coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and use immediately or let cool and then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
