This glaze simmers honey, soy sauce, and five-spice powder into a glossy coating for roasted meats, grilled skewers, or vegetables. A finish of toasted sesame oil rounds out the aroma, making it a versatile brush-on for chicken wings, salmon, or tofu.

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons five-spice powder
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Method

  1. In a 6-quart saucepan, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, five-spice powder, garlic, and ginger.

  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  3. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together until smooth to make a slurry.

  4. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze and cook until thickened and glossy.

  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the toasted sesame oil.

  6. Stir in the toasted sesame seeds and let the glaze cool slightly before brushing onto meat, seafood, or vegetables.
