Prep Time: 2 Mins

Cook Time: 8 Mins

Servings: 8 servings (approximately 1 cup)

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (120 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) cornstarch (optional for thickening)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water (optional for mixing cornstarch)

Instructions

🥄 Instructions:

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger (if using).
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. If you desire a thicker glaze, combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Once the mixture reaches a boil, stir in the cornstarch mixture and whisk until the glaze thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Take the saucepan off the heat and let the glaze cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools.
  5. Use immediately, or transfer to a jar for later use. The glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
