Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Grate the ginger using a fine grater or a microplane to yield about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger paste.
In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Stir well over medium heat.
Add the optional red chili flakes at this stage if you want a touch of heat in your glaze.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Keep cooking the glaze over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency, about 2 minutes.
Remove the glaze from the heat and allow it to cool slightly before using.
Brush the glaze onto skewered kabobs during the last 5-10 minutes of grilling, or use it as a dipping sauce for cooked kabobs.
