This glaze simmers orange juice and zest with fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of soy sauce into a glossy, spoon-coating sauce. It works well brushed over roasted salmon, grilled chicken, or glazed carrots, and thickens further as it cools. A cornstarch slurry gives it the cling needed to coat meat or vegetables evenly.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, grated ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes.

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

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then whisk into the simmering glaze.

  4. Continue simmering, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  5. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter until melted and glossy.

  6. Let the glaze cool for 10 minutes before using; it will continue to thicken as it cools.
