Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons regular soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon roasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water (for slurry)

Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Combine all sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and slurry water in a small saucepan.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water to create a slurry.
  3. Heat the sauce mixture over medium-high until simmering.
  4. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
  5. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before using.

Notes

  • Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • If the glaze becomes too thick when stored, gently reheat and add a small amount of water to thin to desired consistency.
  • For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
