Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until fully dissolved to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture is simmering, slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the glaze from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Brush the spicy glaze generously over cooked chicken or prawns, or use it as a dipping sauce on the side.
Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped scallions for added flavor and presentation, if desired.
