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:
- In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger (if using).
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- 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).
- Take the saucepan off the heat and let the glaze cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools.
- Use immediately, or transfer to a jar for later use. The glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
