Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup orange juice
- 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the saucepan.
Grate fresh ginger to measure 1 teaspoon and add it to the mixture.
Stir in the red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water to create a slurry.
Once the glaze begins to simmer, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the glaze. Continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until the glaze reaches the desired consistency.
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly before brushing it onto ribs during the last 10 minutes of grilling or roasting.
Alternatively, serve as a dipping sauce on the side.
