This glaze simmers soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger down to a syrupy consistency that coats meat and vegetables with a glossy sheen. It comes together in one small saucepan in under fifteen minutes, making it a quick finish for weeknight stir-fries, grilled skewers, or oven-roasted salmon.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, water, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

  2. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

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

  4. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering glaze and continue cooking until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

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

  6. Let the glaze cool slightly before brushing onto grilled or roasted proteins and vegetables; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
