A classic Chinese sauce (at least in America)
In a small bowl combine the corn starch and the water. Stir until fully combined to create a slurry.
Add all the rest of ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the corn starch and water slurry and stir to combine thoroughly.
Allow the mixture to come to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Allow the sauce to cook until reduced by 25%.
