This glaze simmers soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and ginger into a glossy, pourable sauce with a sweet-salty balance. It thickens with a quick cornstarch slurry for a clingy finish that coats chicken, pork, or shrimp beautifully. Brush it on burgers, meatballs, or grilled skewers for an island-inspired touch.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Method

  1. In a 6-quart saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes to meld the flavors.

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

  4. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce and cook until thickened and glossy, about 2 minutes.

  5. Stir in the red pepper flakes, then remove from heat and let the glaze cool slightly before using or storing.
