This glaze simmers ripe mango puree with chili garlic sauce, lime, and a touch of honey until thick and glossy. It brushes onto grilled chicken, salmon, or shrimp in the last few minutes of cooking, or works as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and skewers.
Ingredients
- 2 cups ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Method
-
Combine the diced mango, rice vinegar, honey, chili garlic sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and salt in a 6-quart saucepan.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens.
-
Puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth, or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the saucepan.
-
Whisk together the water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, then stir into the mango mixture.
-
Return the saucepan to medium heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to a jar; the glaze will continue to thicken as it cools.
